Good afternoon!
Today we:
- finished our zentangling and then watercolour painted the zentangles (in art - see photos below)
- did group skipping and played one round of the skipping called helicopter in P.E. (ask me about the game tonight)
- learned how to read notes in music and practiced reading and writing them on a music staff with a partner
- continued with our groups in word work
- organized our bins
- continued to learn about our new literacy centres
- played math games
- had a meaningful conversation with our class about how to problem solve, who to talk to if there are issues, and what the expectations are for grade 5 students at our school. I reminded students that I am here for them to help them navigate through problems, and that we want and expect students to make the best choices possible to keep themselves and others safe. This was a follow-up conversation to one that we had yesterday with all grade 5 students. This conversation was around expectations for students at recess, lunch recess, and before school. This includes ONLY being in the approved areas (not going to unsupervised areas), how to treat others with kindness, keeping our hands to ourselves, etc. Students were also reminded of what the progressive discipline steps were - including warnings, phone calls home, meetings with Mrs. Brinson or Mrs. Docherty, potential meetings with parents, or even, suspensions if the behaviour is serious and/or repetitive. We are hoping that students can remember these expectations and we can finish off the year on a much more positive note!
