Today we were thrilled to see Candy Cane hanging from a green balloon and especially happy that he was able to get his magic back!

Students were very excited to try their third Daily 5 activity today, Word Work.  In our class, there are 7 different Word Work activities that students can choose from.  Over the next day or two, we will be working through the 7 activities in order to become familiar with each one.  Word Work is an opportunity for students to review their Word Wall Words (rainbow words) in a fun and interactive way. 

In Social Studies, we continued our discussions on traditions celebrated by the Acadians of Meteghan. Their music and dancing had quite a few of us tapping our toes. We are all looking forward to sampling some of their tasty foods at Meteghan's Cultural Day next week! If you haven't already, please complete the Powerschool payment.

In Math, we reviewed the concept of Greater Than, Less Than and Equal to, using playing cards and symbol cards.  This is an activity you could play at home.  Always remember that the alligator eats the larger number. We have also been practicing counting by 10s. Students should be able to count by 10s starting at any number (i.e.: 10, 20, 30 40 or 36, 46, 56, 55).  Students made groups of 10 with the goal of organizing 100 items.

Students spent some time today, designing their Avitar, and completing patterns as they were introduced to Mathletics. Their log in information will be sent home on Friday.
