• In gym, we had gym with Room 5 because of our Mustard Seed presentation.  We played continuous and four corner dodgeball.
• After recess, we had the Mustard Seed Presentation.  We learned about homelessness and what it is through pictures and stories.  Many people who are homeless do not live on the streets, but in shelters or couch surfing with friends.  Lots of people are homeless because they don't have the support of friends and family.  We presented the cards we made this week to the presenter, which will make a big difference.
• In music, the people who didn't finish their band animal drawing had to finish it.  After, we had to choose a Christmas carol we really liked and then we made patterns to match the song.
• During our computer lab time, Ms. Jones showed us some Christmas themed math activities to play.  The logic game Sugar, Sugar was the most popular.
• In Daily 5, we finished up activities and during our Read Aloud, Marty found Remi sitting under the school statue.  He no longer has friends on his hockey team because he is friends with Marty.  They also figured out that three people from school were missing...is that related to the freezer find?
• At the end of the day in math, we continued to play the The Great Elf Game.  We got to December 20th, so we will finish the game tomorrow.

What did we do today?

• In math, Ms. Jones taught us two ways to subtract numbers with zeros, like 1000.  One way was to borrow from a far away neighbour.  The other way was to cross the whole top number and take away one, so 999.  Then you subtract as normal, but then you add 1 to the difference to get the answer.
