What Stuck With Us Today - Thursday, December 18th, 2014
What We're Up to This Week - December 15th-19th
Language
-we filled in our "How Do You Feel Today?" surveys
-we finished writing our "12 Days of Giving" poems
-we wrote final letters to our university Book Buddies, wishing them a happy holiday and reflecting on what we learned from them
-we selected picture books for each of our individual Book Buddies, thinking about why they might enjoy a particular book and what they can use it for
-we wrote a book to thank Catherine for all her work with us
-we exchanged books at the Library and made sure that we have Good Fit books in our ECLIPSE bins
-we learned that reading on We Give Books right now earns double the books. For every book we read online, 2 books are donated to a school in need!
-we are totally addicted to "The Book With No Pictures" and make sure that every adult who enters our room reads it!
Math
-we are enjoying our advent calendar treats and noticing that the snowman-elf pattern keeps repeating
-we are working on developing our understanding of length and distance
-we came up with ideas of things that are 1 mm, 10 mm, 1 cm, 10 cm, 1 m, 10m, 1 km and 10 km long
Social Studies
-Dion Metcalfe from the Ottawa Inuit Children's Centre came and in and we learned about life in the Arctic for the Inuit and reflected on our learning. To learn more, visit their website.
Phys Ed
-Dion Metcalfe from The Ottawa Inuit Children's Centre came into our class to teach us about Inuit culture. He taught us Inuit games that have three purposes: fun, build strength and endurance and showing off
Art
-we had a huge chunk of time to do some seasonal crafting with Tiiu's class - students made snowmen, ninjas, Borax snowflakes and other crafts!
Drama
-with Tiiu's grade 4/5 class, we read "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and took on the roles of the characters, thinking about how they would feel and react to different situations
-we watched Ray's grade 6 class' play
Music
-students work with Andrew on Tuesday afternoons in Music
-we enjoyed songs from our holiday playlist, students have become very familiar with the songs and like to "conduct" one another or link arms and sway together
Tree Families
-our theme this month is acceptance. Our big idea is to respect and celebrate others' preferences and ideas.
-on Wednesday, we joined our Tree Families to practice holiday songs and then headed to the Gym for a whole school sing-along

What We're Up To This Week - December 8th-12th
Language
-we filled in our "How Do You Feel Today?" surveys at the beginning of the day and looked at our results in a Wordle and drew conclusions based on the size of words (the bigger the word, the more times we repeated it)
-we will be writing "12 Days of Giving" lists, using descriptive words, based on the song, "12 Days of Christmas" and the book "A Porcupine in a Pine Tree"
-we read letters from our Book Buddies about what they have learned from us and in their practicum classrooms
-we wrote letters to our Book Buddies about what we do to celebrate winter holidays and gave them tips on how to be great teachers
Math
-we finished our independent Math review of measurement, fractions and reading time tables
-students are working in small groups to go over any questions or problems they had and to help each other to solve them
-we learned about computer programming and got excited for our Hour of Code this week! We practiced by writing four lines of code together on code.org
-we are going to wait and do our Hour of Code next week!
-we are practicing accurately using rulers and metre sticks and measuring length and perimeter in centimetres
-students will work in pairs to estimate the perimeter and then check their estimates by measuring at least four rectangular or square objects in our classroom
Science
-we discussed how to make the conditions in our classroom Science Lab optimal for the babies we study and experiment on
-Baby Leo is now seven months old, he came in for his third visit and we used our new planning and organization system to take detailed, organized notes
-Baby Alice is coming in on Thursday and we will be to see what is new for her at 8 months!
-Alison from Maker Junior brought Hitchbot Jr back to our class. He was a hit at the Toronto Mini Maker Faire! Parades of kids followed him everywhere he went on Alison's son's back! We were excited to see that he came back with a badge and an LED name tag! She had some advice about how we could change his arms to make him fit better in crowds and how we can use his GPS. We have to work on our next iteration (version) of Hitchbot Jr by taking her ideas into account. We hope he'll start travelling soon. If you'd like to take him home for the holidays, or better yet, take him ON holidays somewhere you're going, let us know!
-we reflected on the design process and how it has felt to take Hitchbot Jr from an idea to a real robot
Phys Ed
-we are playing one of our favourite games, World Domination
-we are dancing and singing with wacky videos on Go Noodle
Art
-we will be making drawings to show what our 12 Days of Giving look like
