Hello Families,
It was so nice to have the opportunity to meet the students in Room 7 this year! We had a great couple of days together and I'm looking forward to a year of growing together. I can already tell that the students and I will have so much to share and learn from each other.
A few things that we did over the first couple of days were:
- Engaging in talks about schedules, routines and a classroom tour
- Discussing the classroom expectations of "Care for Yourself, Care for Others and Care for this Place". Students came up with excellent ways that they can demonstrate these statements on a daily basis, both inside and outside the classroom, so that they are showing others their best self and contributing to LBS being a welcoming and caring place to belong to.
- Brainstorming all the math vocabulary that they know to get their mathematician brain up and running, as well as setting up and planning for their math learning this year.
- Creating "Get to Know Me" math, by using numbers to tell others about themselves and then creating multiple math questions for others to solve, in order to learn about them.
- Using icons and multiple fonts to share their favourite things that they did over the summer
- Began working with their table groups on a digital escape room, which had them working together to solve various language and numeracy puzzles. We'll be continuing this next week!
- Engaging in a few get to know you games and enjoyed connecting with the two other 5/6 classes outside.
Enjoy your long weekend!
