P.O.O.F!

 Every other Friday, students will have the chance to reflect on the past week by completing a POOF (Positive Observations on Friday) page.

We shared our observations in class, and now students have been asked to share their page with someone at home.

What a great way to start the weekend!

Happy Friday!

Team Challenge!

 For today's team challenge, students had to place nine playing cards so that each row, column and diagonal gave the same total. 

It was definitely a challenge!

Collaborative Art!

 Each student created a square of art.

We then assembled it together to create a classroom piece of artwork!

Wow!

From the Science Department...

 Today students used a dichotomous key to classify different modes of transportation.

What great partner work!

Droits et Responsabilites!

 In Social Studies today we discussed Rights and Responsibilities.

For example, you have the right to be respected and the responsibility to respect others.

Class Library!

 As a class, we came up with five rules for our classroom library.

Students have signed their page to show that they are ready to follow the rules. Parents are also asked to sign.
Once students have handed in their signed page, they may start borrowing books from the Classroom Library.

Happy Reading!

Knights of Ness!

 Since school began, we have been discussing the four values of Knights: respect, responsibility, integrity and excellence. We combined our ideas together into a handy-dandy poster, which we have all signed and pledged to follow throughout the year. It will hang on our wall as a constant reminder of how to be a classroom community.

Team Challenge!

 This afternoon, students were challenged to create the tallest freestanding structure possible using only three pieces of recycled paper, scissors and glue. What teamwork! Well done!

What's in a Name?

 On Thursday, students should be prepared to tell the class the story of their name! 

Remember students: it could be how you got your name, what your name means, or who you are named for. 

You could talk about your first name, your middle name or your last name.
