Thursday Sept. 10

 Happy Thursday!

We started our morning off with table time where we completed a colour by numbers on a 100s chart. This worked on number order and decoding colour words. 

In Math, we did a number talk on patterns and brainstormed different 2 and 3 element patterns. We also talked about the core of the pattern and how that is the part that repeats.
We then did a quick "show what you know" so that Mrs. Taylor and Ms. MacDonald could see what we already know about patterns and where we can move to.

In the afternoon we took our pattern work outside and created patterns in nature with Ms. MacDonald's class.

In writing, Mrs. Taylor's class completed their first "Think Outside of the Box" writing task. 
Ask me what I turned my "box" into and what I wrote about.

In writing Ms. MacDonald's class chose and idea from their fact pocket to write about. We worked on sharing several ideas.

7 Healthy Habits - In health Ms. Taylors class began looking at the first of the seven healthy habits. "Be proactive. We discussed how we can advocate for ourselves by being poractive.

In art. Ms. MacDonald's class started working on their masked portraits. If you would like to try this at home feel free to watch the video.
