 Hello! Happy Wednesday.

We had a busy day today. We:

  • did our word work
  • played scooter curling in gym
  • played a new power of ten math game, a multiplication dice game, and we played multiplication bingo! (see photos below)
  • did reading groups and literacy centres
  • learned all about Canada! We used a map of Canada (in puzzle form) to try and guess the location of all of the provinces (see photos below) - then we all got a copy of a map of Canada which we had to label and colour in - we did this because we are starting to learn about the people that live in Canada, and it's important to know the places in Canada for context and understanding. 

Reminders:
  • we unfortunately were not able to go on our winter walk today as it was too cold. We are hopeful that we can go tomorrow! Ms. Clark sent out another school messenger note about this!

It has been such a joy to be your teacher this year. I am so excited for your next part of the journey in life! You will have such a good time in middle school and I can't wait to see all that you accomplish in life.
