December 10-14

In room 22 this week, are continuing to work on following routines, being helpful, showing consideration, and being respectful.  The Three Pillars of Care remind us to care for self, care for others, and care for this place. We have had several conversations about treating each member of class the way, we as individuals would like to be treated.

Social
Ask me what is very important on Monday.... (HINT- we have our Regions Quiz). There is a Regions Review Powerpoint available, the link is on the blog. We have also completed a review booklet and had a trivia showdown with Room 14. Even Mrs.Wickland helped us review by creating a question for our showdown!




Science
We started exploring electricity. We learned the ways (sources) electricity is generated. We documented the generated electricity in our country on a map of Canada. This allowed us to compared the differences and discuss reasons why various areas in our country differ. 


French
We started learning winter words and songs. Try finding French speaking radio stations and TV stations and see how many words you can understand. 

Other
We helped make kindness ninja masks with our grade 1 and 2 buddies today. Next week we are going to help them spread sneaky acts of kindness around the school. 

We completed our first round of TSN today.

Coming Up

Monday- Social Quiz (multiple choice questions on the regions, label a map of Canada and show the locations of the regions)

Friday- last day of school before Winter Break

Spread random acts of kindness around Ranchlands School
