Parent teacher times are assigned
and a confirmation of the time went home with your child today
We began the morning with our weekly test. This weeks test contained Spelling, Science and Math. Socials this week was an examination of the new coins and a look at different aspects of our Canadian identity connected with each possible coin selection, so there was nothing specific I needed covered on the Friday test. I am not sure if I will get all the tests marked and the data entered into the computer in time for the test to go home with your child today.
As we were lining up to come back in for recess the kindergarten teacher complimented 'I' for helping two kinders. Good job I.
As soon as we got settled back from recess the fire alarm went. We had not told the students it was happening so it was a more realistic drill. Everyone did well. We managed to evacuate everyone out of the school in 1minute 35 seconds. The fire chief complimented us as their goal is to get everyone out of a building in less than two minutes. M. from my class got stung by a bee, after an initial yell, which quieted the whole school who did not know what had happened, he stood very quietly for the rest of the drill. Great Job everyone great job M.
After recess the students prepared for and began a dissection of a shrimp as part of an I-pad presentation using the App. Book Creator. I first explained the expectation for behavior using the I-pad and respect to the animal we were examining. The students organized themselves into pairs The activity was a great success and I heard lots of amazing examination and vocabulary as the students took pictures, measured, labeled, cut, ripped, poked, prodded, examined, hypothesized, and then tasted the cooked shrimp I caught earlier in the week. The activity took from recess until noon.
We will finish up the I-pad part next week.
After lunch we worked on the I-pad projects then went to buddies and ended the day in Gym. Great day everyone. See you Tuesday.
