Habitats

Room 7 is covering Habitats at the moment. We are discussing what makes up a habitat, plant and animal needs, and how a habitat provides the necessities of life. We are hoping to end our unit with some hands on building of habitats.

Tomorrow's Brain Breakfast!

Every morning we do a short math activity from different parts of the curriculum. We call it our Brain Breakfast!

Finished driftwood art!

Here are some examples of our finished driftwood art! Room 7 did an awesome job while working on creating our driftwood animals. We kept the room and our clothes clean, we worked well together, we shared, and we had fun!

Yozef saw a turtle in this piece of driftwood.

Jayde decide to turn this lump of wood into a colourful platypus.

Driftwood art!

Everyone is curious as to what we will be doing with these. I can't wait to get started this afternoon!

Pieces of driftwood that were picked from the shores of Lake Winnipeg.

French!

Our student's have been experiencing many firsts in French. We've been working hard counting all the way to 20, saying the date, and simple greetings. I am looking forward to seeing where our learning goes.

Math - Rounding

We have begun our math program with a unit focussing on Place Value and Number Sense. Rounding numbers has been a skill that has been tricky for some to pick up on. We are must remember our rules and when to use them.

4 or less = rounding down

5 or more = rounding up

Please ask your children about what they've learned about rounding numbers.

Working together in Room 7

We have been learning about the many benefits of working together in groups. Since our focus on this we have seen many improvements in the way students in room 7 have been working together. We are helping eachother out, offering advice, giving compliments, and sharing.

We are hoping to continue refining our new group work skills as the year progresses.

Welcome

Welcome to Room 7's class blog. This will be a place for us to share what we've been doing in our classroom, and the learning that's taking place.
