November 26-30

Room 22 has been learning to make an oral presentation this week at school in social studies.  Students have been taking turns being the presenter and the audience, while sharing the information we collected on the regions of Canada.  Next week we will a quiz on the regions on Wednesday or Thursday.  Please return to this blog to access review content next week.

On Friday, we joined up with our buddies to learn how to be North Pole Ninjas.  We read a book called North Pole Ninjas and decided to complete a secret mission to spread kind acts throughout the school.

 

Check out this video that the authors of the book created about the purpose of the book. 

North Pole Ninjas

If you'd like to challenge your child to complete kind missions at home or in the community here are a few ideas:

• Go for a walk and pick up any litter you find along the way. Make your streets sparkle!
• Bring a plate of treats to your local fire station. The firefighters work hard and will happily gobble them up.
• Sit and chat with a new friend at lunch. Make them feel happy.
• Greet each person you see all day with a smile. All smiles, all day.
• Shovel a neighbour's sidewalk.
• Read a book to someone.

In language arts, we are focusing on reading comprehension and using reading strategies to make sure we understand what we are reading.  Ask me about:

• making connections
• visualizing
• questioning
• inferring
• transforming

We are particularly focused on reflecting on our class novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone through writing.
