Friday November 18: Spelling, Masks, Parents, Buddies and Gym

Notice:
No school Monday for Students, Teachers are at workshops.

Those students who achieved all right, one wrong or two wrong. Well done!

We started the day with the weekly spelling test. 'Y' and 'N' dictated the words, and did the corrections.

After spelling we talked about the the different ways masks are used today. In sports, by Knights of old, as burial masks in Egypt and Asia, in Japanese theater and for ceremony and healing by the First nations peoples in our region. After recess be began a mask project where the students had to make a raven, eagle or a thunder-bird mask using tissue paper to create the feathers. The students were focused and engaged with making these masks so it kept them busy from recess until lunch.


After lunch many of our students went to Buddies. They worked on math, making small books, reading and coloring. I uploaded lots of pictures of the students with those little buddies to the flickr account that can be accessed from the Photo Gallery on the upper right side of the blog.

Many parents helped out with the parent fundraiser Food-4-Fun. 'J's' mom came to our class to help her daughter hand out the food.





After Buddies we had a rousing game of bench ball to finish off the day.


Have a great weekend everyone... see you Tuesday.
