We were busy last week, writing letters to Santa and doing various Christmas themed writing and math activities. In Math we worked on multiplication up to the 7 time tables, using a variety of different strategies to solve word problems and simple facts.
We received 5 cards from our Around the Globe Christmas card challenge. Some have come from North Carolina, Texas and New Jersey. In the end, we should receive 29 cards! We mailed 29 cards out this weekend.
The next two weeks will center around Christmas and celebrating the birth of baby Jesus. We welcomed our new student teacher from Ottawa U, Louise Trudeau for full afternoons. Miss Trudeau has an exciting art activity planned for this week. We can't tell you any more about it because it is a surprise!
On Wednesday our class participated in the Hour of Code. All students went home with a certificate that they were very proud to receive! Some worked with Dash and Dot, while others worked on Blocky coding Star Wars and Minecraft. Always a class favourite is Build with Chrome as well. This upcoming week I will introduce "The Foos" app to the students. They are sure to love this one as well!
On Friday, we got the pleasure welcoming St. Peter's band who got the whole school into the Christmas spirit. Stay tuned for a fun week ahead.... All Aboard!
