The Week After Halloween....

This week has been very busy. Students were excited about the Halloween weekend and were still very excited this week about the amount of candy they had. But, I do like a busy classroom. This week, we started nutrition! We are learning about what is considered unhealthy snacks, and what is considered a treat. We are also learning about the different food groups and the portions of what we should have on our plates. We will dig more about this topic for this upcoming week. 

During an activity, we discussed which foods are the healthiest choice as we used our Lumio interactive website in the classroom. We then cut, glued and organized by colour which items we prefer the most on a regular basis.

This week, we also worked very hard on recognizing our soldiers who fights for our freedom. We will talk more on this, this upcoming week. We completed our Remembrance Day video for our poem, and read stories/ activities on what it means to wear a poppy. We also chose sentences on what we would like to write on our posters to our soldiers. 

Lastly, we watched a beautiful sunset, then talked more on the Northern Lights and the colours of these lights. Students were shocked when they saw photos of what exactly the Northern Lights looks like. We then drew a picture of a sunset we have seen, or wish we had seen in the past or the upcoming future. We then looked at different pictures and compared it to the sunset Miss. Shenae captured on Tuesday at our school. 

This week, we have replaced math with nutrition and for LA, we are working on our sentence strips in recreating our sentences as well has filling in the missing word or letter for a particular sentence. Each day, I am seeing great progress from my students. I observe the efforts and commitment they give me on a daily basis. Though there are challenges in the classroom, we never give up, and we make the decision to keep on pushing through.
