Light

We are putting on our science hats! Asking questions, diagramming, labelling, and finding solutions is what it's all about. We are looking forward to begin our learning about light.

Students in room 7 led an assembly on self-control and showcased a video which was created and shot entirely by the students.

What have we been up to lately???

I apologize, we have not made a post in a while! We have been super busy in room 7, and let me tell you why. We are in the middle of wrapping up our addition and subtraction unit in math, and getting ready to begin exploring multiplication! We are also finishing up PowerPoint presentations which will serve as travel guides for Canadian provinces. We have wrapped up our habitats unit and are about to really dive deep into learning all about light. My goal is to have the students put on their scientist hats while looking at this. I want to guide then in learning to ask and answer their own questions. We have been working on storytelling, while focussing on turning memories into great stories. Those are just a few of the wonderful things we have had happening here in room 7. Stay tuned for pictures from the last couple months.

Word study!

We are continuing on with our word study program. It has been a huge success so far. The students are learning and the fun is evident. We have been introduced with new ways to so word study along the way. The newest activity had been integrating word study with the game Battleship. Here is some of what goes on during word study.

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.
