The Grade 1s joined us for calendar and reading buddies.




After recess we continued working on our Roll to 100 with Place Value game. Together we developed a self assessment to go with this game. Ideas of what we can assess while playing this game are:
-am I using base ten blocks?
-am I working well with my partner and playing fair?
-am I using addition skills?
-am I filling in the worksheet properly?
-am I following the instructions?
-did I work the whole time?

This Afternoon was spent doing science and social. We brought our ideas together for how to cool down a room if it is too hot and warm up a room if it is too cold.

Then we learned about the people of Nunavut. Here are a few points:
-people who live in Nunavut are known as Inuit
-Inuit people have much pride and love for their land
-Inuit live in small communities where everyone is considered a relative
-Inuit believe in co-operation, mildness, generosity, and gentleness
-Inuit children learned through the adults
-some traditional clothing the Inuit used the wear are parkas, trousers, boots, mittens, caribou or rabbit socks
-most clothing was made from seal or caribou skin and fur

To end the day we got to choose a coloring page of a traditional Inuit outfit. Tomorrow we will finish coloring it, Mrs. G will take a picture of our face, then we will replace the face in the picture with our face. That way it will look like we are wearing the outfit!
