Week 11


Highlights:
  • This week we decided make our wellness goal focus on movement breaks again! To try to beat the number of minutes we had for movement break from last week our goal this week is 45 minutes - but we only have four days this week so it is a super challenge. 
  • In gym we learned how to play racquet golf! Like in golf, we had "holes" (we used hoola-hoops in the gym) to target our balls into. Each group member had their own ball - which were different colors so they were easier to remember where they landed. We used racquets rather than golf clubs. Once we got a ball into one hole, the group moved onto the next hole. It was super fun.




  • In word work the grade 1s and 2s worked together on spelling the "A-List" words - the grade 2s would select a word and the grade 1 buddies would try to write it on their mini-whiteboards. The grade 1s also learned how to write the letters L and K:

  • During math, we continued on with our construction of 3D objects using nets and decorating them with patterns. We learned how to identify the faces, edges, and vertices. When we are done making the shapes, we will have to identify the number of faces, edges and vertices for each shape that we made. 
  • It was also our last day of swimming!
