Empathy Comics!

R.F. Morrison Has decided to take on a focus of the seven moral intelligences this year. Throughout the month of November our focus has been empathy. Alongside our lessons and discussions we have decided to show our learning by telling stories. The students in room 7 have used our brand new iPads to create comics that tell stories of empathy. Our class presented these comics during a school wide assembly. It was a tremendous success, and something that every member of the class should be very proud of.

Word study fun

We began our word study today. Everyone had a great time working at various activities that helped them with the words they chose to focus on this week. During our word study each student only focuses on ten words at a time. The words are chosen from their individual word banks, which only consist of words that were spelled incorrectly.

Looking forward to moving forward with this program!

Penpals

Exciting news! We have received letters back from our penpals at Collicutt School. Students from room 7 are now in the process if writing back to answer questions and learn more about them. Maybe one day we will get to meet them.

"What does freedom mean to me?"

In talking about Remembrance Day, students in room 7 discussed what freedom means to them. We are remembering the people who have fought for Canada's freedom by writing letters to thank them. Here are the students thoughts on what freedom means.

Room 7's skeletons

Students in room 7 made some terrific skeletons using their names as the bones. Not only was this fun, but also a great lesson in symmetry!
