What did we do today?

• At the start of the day, we did caroling and we sang Deck the Halls, Six White Boomers, Twelve Days of Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and We Wish You A Merry Christmas.
• In gym, we finished the Ring Bridge game, which we started yesterday.  Then we played a game called Clean Your Room, which is like the Trash Game but with rings.  After that, we broke the gym into 3 sections and we played mini-games of ringette.
• In social studies, we talked about fossil fuels. Gas, coal and oil are examples.  We also had to look up what non-reusable and reusable resources are and write the definition.
• After recess, we played The Great Elf Game.  You have 12 elves and you send them to the woods, the forest or the mountains to collect trees.  If Ms. Cowdy a 1-4, the weather is good and all the trees come back.  If a 5 or 6 is rolled, it is a blizzard and only the elves in the woods come back with trees.  Every five days there is a lottery.  We played it with Room 5.
• In health, we went to the Learning Commons to play Whoosh, Bang, Pow.  We played this because it is an energy game and you practice not being a DOF.
• During language arts, we finished up our science reflections, our Tinsel stories and Daily 5 activities.
• In music, Mr. O was our sub.  He read us a book called The Animal Band.  Then we either made up an animal or drew an animal with an instrument.
• At the end of the day we went over the answers of for our science quiz so that we could tell our parents the reason why we got our mark.
