Pattern Palooza & Special Helpers

Today we got started a new project in math called Pattern Palooza Challenge. The objective is to create a large placemat of various patterns by filling in chart paper. However, there are two rules: (1) you can only repeat the same type of pattern twice, and (2) two patterns of the same type cannot be beside each other. Each pattern's core is highlighted and described with letters. Once they are complete we will be laminating them so that they could be used as placemats for fun lunch!




We also found out that our CBC Music Challenge video has been published on YouTube, so we watched it in music class!


It can be viewed at the following link: https://youtu.be/SUauc7Yyluk








We also started Helper Jar today. A special helper will be selected for each day and this person will have the opportunity to share something about themselves based on a selected topic from a list that the class brainstormed today. Also, the special helper will have special duties such as being the line leader, handing out materials, or helping the teacher with various tasks.

For the first round, the topic is: favorite stuffy, toy or action figure.

Our special helper for tomorrow is: Nooray

Finally, at the end of the day, the whole school gathered to say goodbye to Mr. O as he is retiring!
