What a great day Room 20 had today!! To start off our day, we enjoyed some entertainment during assembly. The Grade 2's and Grade 3's danced the "Bird Dance" while many of the Grade 5's were dancing along in their seats!!

We worked to complete a "Building Blocks" activity where students had to expand a sentence 4 different times including details such as when, size, name a place, and add a name. The students have become very good at adding details to their writing. Great job!!

After recess, we completed three stations during Math Pods. At station 1, students worked on a booklet that reviewed place value and writing numbers to the millions. At station 2, students were introduced to their first estimation strategy, Front End Rounding. At station 3, students practiced their Whole Number skills using the links on the blog.
Students continued to work on their Canadian Hero paragraph. This activity is due Tuesday, October 25.

Students then headed down to French and Phys Ed.

We then started to work on our Digestive System models. Students will continue with this tomorrow.
