Wednesday, November 25, 2015

We practiced our word wall words by choosing an activity like straws, whiteboards, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, pom poms, buttons, and so on. Friday is our quiz.

In Phys. Ed. we played a game where we had to pass the ball to other people on our team. The goal was to get all of our team on the mat. There were four different teams going to four different mats.

We also, did some more work with our creative writing, keeping in mind what good writing looks like.

After recess, we did some more research on elephants. A few things we learned were:
-they eat leaves, flowers, and fruits
-adult elephants teach baby elephants to communicate with other elephants by using their ears and trunks
-when something is trying to hurt the baby, the older elephants surround it in a circle to protect the baby
-elephants can live in Africa

We talked more about Alberta and the 6 regions. We watched a video of each region and learned a few more things. Ask me what I learned about each region. The regions are: Canadian Shield, Parklands, Rocky Mountains, Grasslands, Foothills, Boreal Forest.

We are continuing to work on the Pillars of Care, especially caring for others, caring for learning, and caring for place. Ask me how I am doing with each of these.
