Tomato Plants and Tomato Haiku!

Hello! Happy Thursday!

The theme of this morning was tomatoes!

We had a chance to re-pot our tomato plants to bring home and also celebrated our tomatoes by writing and special tomato-themed Haiku! Many of us finished our drafts today and will be ready to publish our poems tomorrow. Be sure to check back to read our poetic words! 🍅

AGENDA

1. If you brought your tomato plant(s) home today, please be sure to set them up near a window and water them often! When time to replant again, there is no need to remove the plant from its current pot; the peat pot will break down in new soil allowing the roots to continue to grow and take root in its bigger home. Happy tomato growing! :)

2. Blue and Gold Day Tomorrow! - Wear blue, gold, or Bombers gear to cheer on our team in the Grey Cup this weekend! :)

3. Students have had their first two work periods for the Science "Tomatosphere Experiment Extension Project" that was introduced in class yesterday. Students will have a chance to work on this in class this week. Due date will be announced by Friday, but expect Friday, December 17.

Lecture Avec Partenaire

Happy Tuesday, friends of learning!

Today in Français we started the second "LA" of our "LALALA" daily reading time.

Today's "LA" stands for "Lecture Avec Partenaire" - Reading with a partner.

When reading with a partner, it's important to: each be reading the same book, read at a good volume, follow along on the page with what our partner is reading, help our partner if they're stuck on a word that we're familiar with, stay on task and read for the entire time, discuss (in French!) what we've read and what we've learned.

We will continue working on "Lecture Avec Partenaire" this week before adding in our next "LA."

Please ask me about the book I read today during LALALA. What was the text about? What new words did I read/learn?

Scientiferrific Tuesday!

Today we had our first work period to plan our Tomatosphere-inspired experiments today. We are coming up with some great ideas! Please ask me if I'm working independently or with a partner and what ideas we researched today.

Assembly and NetMaths

Hello! Happy Wednesday! Happy December!

We started our day today with our November (virtual) assembly!

We finished our morning with Math. Today we created our NetMath accounts and had a chance to log into the NetMath site and complete the intro booklet that introduced us to how working in NetMath works. We will mostly be using this site in class, but students can access their account from home as well, and may be asked to finish-up class-assigned tasks from time to time. (A link to the NetMath site has been added under the 'Helpful Websites' menu on the right-hand side of the blog page).

Please ask me about some of the questions and tasks I completed during the "intro à NetMath" task I completed today!
