We began the day finishing off the one page report retelling the Haida legend of the killer Whale. Followed by them writing a one page report on what sport should be Canada's Official National sport. On the books
lacrosse is the national sport, however most Canadians think it should be Hockey. The students have to make up their mind between the two sports or choose another. This is a carry over from a discussion and worksheet they were given by Mrs. O'Connor yesterday. They were then given time to work on their new mini - book "It's Not Easy Being....."
The Vortex of SmartAfter recess the students had reading for 30 min. As you can see from the pictures their own mini-books and those of their peers are still very popular choices for reading time. Many choose to read library books, books from home, and some read their new Scholastic book orders that had just arrived today.
'C' with her new scholastic book orderAfter Reading we talked about famous Canadian
James Naismith who invented basket ball and did a one page report on him and his accomplishments. I chose this famous Canadian as we have been looking at Canada's National Sports. Many students think hockey should be our National game as it is our most popular sport. An equal number of students thought Lacrosse should be the national game as it was a popular First Nations sport and was our National sport. I introduced the idea of our National sport being basketball as it was invented by a Canadian.
In math we worked on three digit by three digit subtraction and addition. It was a review for my math group and harder for the other two math groups.
After lunch we had cooperative games in P.E. We were joined by Mr. Edwards class for the last 20 minutes of the period. This was followed by an art period where the students used three different sized
popsicle sticks and a variety of colored paper to create a ' Long house' relief picture. That took us up to the end of the day. Have a great evening and see you all tomorrow afternoon.
