ERASE

Practising the script

This morning students wrote about what respect means to them, then together we learned more about what it is and what it looks like. After learning more about respect, completed the double journal entry by describing respect based on their new understanding of it. It was an interesting lesson because respect is used a lot by adults in our school but several students in the class were unable to describe what it is until after we learned about it. We did have a calm day after that :-)

After writing, students practised opposite (or inverse) equations in Math (3+4=7; 7-4=3; 7-3=4). They made up their own examples, making the questions as easy or as complicated as they wanted to. It was a fun activity. Some students used 3 digits numbers or multiple numbers in their questions, while others used single or double digit numbers.

After recess we continued with our novel study by reading 1.5 chapters and responding with writing and a picture. They also finished their Snowmen at Night assignment (artistic response to the beautiful picture book Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Bueher).
After lunch was Silent Reading, Music, and the monthly recognition Assembly. Today Mr. W and I recognized 4 students: T for his love of reading, E for producing good quality work, T for her spelling and handwriting, and R for his helpfulness. Congratulations on your awards. You've earned them.

Thank you to our photographer R. from our class :-)

5 students in our class also performed a dialogue about ERASE (Expect Respect and A Safe Education), using Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer as an example. M, E, E, S, and A projected their voices clearly and presented very well. Awesome job! The performance was very well received. Everyone especially enjoyed singing Rudolph's song after sitting quietly throughout the assembly :-) Thank you to Mr. W and TOC Ms. Morteson for collaborating on the entertaining script!!
We had 10 minutes at the end of the day to play silent ball and pack up before the bell rang.
See you next week!
