We Read to Self for 10 minutes. Then we gathered in the gym for a presentation about Terry Fox and the Marathon of Hope. This was a preparation for our Terry Fox Run on Friday 27. We will be going to TMC School to meet on Friday morning and all three Tuscany schools will participate in a community Terry Fox Run. We started this tradition last year.
We read chapter 7 in our novel: Because of the Rabbit. The main character, Emma, is having some difficulties getting used to the routines of a grade five student in her new school. We began talking about about Emma's open mind set and some of the actions she might take to become familiar with life in an elementary school.
Some of the vocabulary we will be exploring: courage, determination, perseverance, problem-solving, bravery.
This words are connected to Terry Fox and Emma.
We met with our grade 1/2 Peace Buddy class.
We ended the day with math with further exploration of representing numbers in 5 different ways (expanded, standard, written, base ten blocks, and equations). Students were challenged to choose a number and express that number 5 different ways.
Reminders:
Photo Day tomorrow
Terry Fox Run Friday
