A "Chill" TWAS!

We've had a whirlwind of a 4-day week! This week, TWAS will be shared in pictures from our Instagram account.

Monday was Thanksgiving, so I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend. I got together with family at my Auntie's cabin. It was a blustery day full of laughter, awesome food, and great company!

On Tuesday, we had our bus evacuation. Some grade 5s were lucky enough to help out with their patrolling expertise! We had a Morning Meeting; which is something new we're trying in Room 31! It gives us an opportunity to build our class community and allows us to feel like we've been heard. I introduced a "Chill Zone"; which is a cozy place for one student (at a time) to chill out and relax without distractions for a bit. Students are encouraged to bring their work, a book, or even a snack and enjoy the peacefulness! So far, it's a hit!  :) We also had Gym, completed a school-wide writing job, visited the library, and had French.

On Wednesday, we again had a Morning Meeting; 5 students desperately wanted to share something about their night before! We did the school-wide writing job again, read to self, and gym. We ended the beautiful day outside by playing "Instincts for Survival"; a tag game that has students as the role of carnivore, herbivore, or element. It's an awesome way to "sneak" in some of the Grade 4 Science curriculum! Ha!

Yesterday, we did math, social studies, read to self. We visited the gym and ended the day with French and a writing job. Sadly, it was notes of apology or courtesy in regards to some poor choices of behaviour happening lately.

Today, I was lucky enough to go to the Flag Football Tournament with Mrs. Rand and Mrs. Dyck and 37 Grade 4&5 players. The Room 31 students that did not attend were sent to 3 different classrooms for the majority of the day. The football players returned at PM recess, and then we had Music and visited our Grade 2 Book Buddies. We started an adorable art job with them! I'm excited to see how it turns out!

Have a great weekend!  :)
