 Happy Beach Day!

We had a pretty good day today. In the morning, the class completed their morning work choices, and then met with their Social Studies Buddies to do some more research on Iqaluit. The focus today was on traditions, and the many changes that have occurred over the past hundred years or so. The students learned how Inuit people used to live in Igloos in the Winter, and relied heavily on animals like seals and caribou for survival. They also learned how many traditions, such as storytelling, throat singing, and building inukshuks, still live on to this day.

We read another chapter of Droon and did some comprehension questions.

We revisited the topic of 'rounding' and I was happy to see that everyone remembered what we'd discussed. I'm sure the kids will start subconsciously rounding every time they see a price soon!

We watched an episode of Wild Kratts to celebrate the class earning 20 Helping Hearts at Lunch.

We did some Beach Day poetry writing. Students had the option of doing a beach ball poem, or a palm tree poem.

We ended the day with Gym, recess, and Music. Tomorrow is the 100th Day of School, which means that 4/4 days this week were special days. I'm just about celebrated-out. 

We will also finally be having the spelling quiz. 

Have a nice night,

Zac
