Learning intentions for our day...
- In Math, some of us went with Mr. Kelly to complete an 'on my own' assignment from last week while the rest of us reviewed and practiced adding to 30 by doing Magic Square puzzles.
- We began to summarize our time at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump in Inquiry today. In groups we brainstormed the many different ways Indigenous people used the bison. We also watched a video to learn more about the bison as a species.
- We were fortunate to have author, Marty Chan, visit us today. He shared how he comes up with ideas for books - by using events from his own life for inspiration! By adding details, description and changing the solutions of actual events, he creates books for kids.
Ask me about...
which Marty Chan novel I would like to read and why.
Reminders...
- Jacket Racket begins today and will continue to Wednesday Nov. 6th. Please send gently used winter wear including coats, mittens, scarves, hats, boots, etc. to school in a bag marked with the items and sizes inside. We appreciate your support of this much needed program!
