What did we do today?

• At the start of the day in math, we did Multiplication Ninja Monday activities.  One laptop was put at each table group and we were given a number.  While one group member did a test, the other group members practiced their facts.
• In gym, we started ringette.  We practiced keeping our stick on the ground, passing and traveling with the ring.  We played ship captain and hit the shoe, where you tagged someone by hitting their shoe with the ring.
• After recess, we reflected on our learning in science by writing a journal entry of what we learned and why it is important.
• In health, we sat in a circle and continued to share our Brain Eater strategies.  We also were introduced to Glass Man.
• During Daily 5, we were introduced to new Work on Writing and Word Work activities. For writing, we had to write about how Tinsel got into the pencil jar using sentence variety.  In Word Work we had to make snowmen, using words that were synonyms.
• At the end of the day in art, we finished our timeline pictures and sketching dinosaurs in our paleontology journals.  If we finished both of these, we could either make a Christmas card or work on our next timeline picture of Alberta in the Jurassic period.

Questions:
1. What carols will we sing tomorrow?
2. After the dinosaurs, will we do any other prehistoric life pictures for our timeline?
