This morning we did story writing. We learned about the next step for getting ready to write our stories. This step is to record the pieces of our story in frames sort of like a comic strip. Having the pieces of our story recorded like a comic will help us to remember all the pieces when we are writing out our stories.
Before recess some of our class had a meeting to solve some problems that have been happening during soccer at recess. There have been some arguments and upset students coming in so we thought it was important to make sure everyone understood the rules and knew how to play fairly. The group came up with some rules for the soccer game so that hopefully things will go more smoothly.
Here are the rules:
1. If someone gets tripped to pushed the game stops and that student gets to have the ball. Everyone else takes ten steps back and the game re-starts
2. If there is an argument about a goal or a tripping call there is a "hands-up" vote using the honor system. Once a decision has been made by the group there is no more discussion and the game re-starts.
3. If someone gets tripped or pushed when they are shooting at the net, that person gets a free kick.
After recess we did our treasure math. We got to look at level 9 today. It is about the Ogre's pesky pets. Quite a few people are still working on the counting patterns in level 4, but they are getting close to being finished and will then be moving on to level 5: Locked Lagoon.
This afternoon we started learning about Acadia. Acadia is a place in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia where people speak french. We watched a video about the Acadians and took notes on an organizer. We tried to find information about the landscape, animals, jobs, houses, and transportation used by the Acadians long ago. We will finish the video tomorrow and then we will do some mroe research using books. Then we went to library. Many of us didn't bring back our books. Please return them as soon as possible. After library we had gym. We did some relay races. We had to do running and different movements.
We are still looking for 2 volunteers to join us at Nosehill this Friday. Please email Ms. Boyer if you can join us.
Our helper tomorrow is: Levi
