Would you rather have someone give you $100 or give $1000 to the charity of your choice? Support your choice in a paragraph with specific details.
Our choices today were almost unanimous! Students had many great reasons for giving $1000 to charity instead of having $100 for themselves.
In math, students needed to figure out how many presents would have been given over the 12 days. Students realized that the problem was more complicated than just counting the items on the page and came up with different strategies to the answer. Students were also asked to write their thinking and the steps they took to reach the solution.
The Gingerbread Man was loose in Bridlewood School! We had the opportunity to provide leadership for all 3 grade 1 classes today as they followed a series of clues to try and find him. It was great to see everyone so engaged and supportive of the younger students in our school. I know they appreciated your leadership!
Students decided that they would like to complete an art project for our buddies before the winter break. Since the grade 1's are learning about the seasons and we have learned about trees and forests, students decided they would like to create an art piece for their buddy that showed a tree in the four different seasons. Students used their creativity and planned and painted their trees. Can you see the four different seasons in our paintings?
When our art was complete, we worked on a math problem. We had the choice to work alone or in a small group.
At this time of year, many postal workers have to work overtime, so a supervisor at one large post office planned a late-night snack for the employees. She ordered 1 large pizza for every two workers, 1 bag of potato chips for every three workers, and 1 two-litre bottle of cola for every four workers. When the order arrived, 26 items were delivered. How many employees were working that evening?
Reminders:
- Please return your blue assessment folder if you haven't already done so (we are still waiting for 1)
- Bring in items in support of the Canadian Mental Health Association (see post from yesterday for details)
- We are also collecting food items for the Mayor's Food Drive.
- Last day of classes before winter break is Thursday, Dec.19 and it is Pajama Day. It is an 11:45 am dismissal on this day.
- First day of classes in 2020- Tuesday, January 7
