 Notices: Spelling test tomorrow

We began the day talking about Time Management and what their family members are doing from the time they wake up until the time they sleep.  The students then did a one page report on a member of their family showing what that person does every half hour during a typical day.  

The students then did a Rights and Responsibility follow up activity with Mr. Stokes.  The students looked at 9 pairs of cards showing rights and their corresponding responsibility.  The students had to decide if the statement on the card was a right or a responsibility.  The list was based on the UN charter for the rights and responsibilities of Children.  The students then had to work individually, in pairs then as a large group to write a definition for what a Right is and what a Responsibility is.  Mr. Stokes was impressed at how much the students knew about their rights and responsibilities compared to when he was younger.

After recess we had a game of dodge, dip, dive and doge with the grade 5's in the gym.  We played boys against girls and class against class.  The grade 5's won by a hair... but it was lots of fun and good exercise after the students had worked so hard on their rights and responsibilities.

This was followed by music with Mrs. Awalt learning to read music for multiple instruments.  The class played recorder at the last assembly and it was amazing.

We ended the day in either the computer lab or the class working in groups on their Election campaign.  Great job everyone... Study Spelling... also on the test, write a definition of what rights are and give an example and write a definition of what a responsibility is and give an example... see you all tomorrow.. Mr.W and Mr. S
