We are starting to feel the end of the school year creeping up on us in Room 18, and we are starting to dream about our summer plans! Still, we want to end the year with a bang, and we are all working to do our best. In Social/Emotional, we have finished our Second Agreement: Don't Take Anything Personally. We have just started working on our Third Agreement: Don't Make Assumptions. We will continue to work on this agreement next week. In Math, we have been practising measuring using standard and non-standard units. Room 18 students have learned about meters and centimeters. “We had a toy bee and we put him on a paper, and he was trying to get to his honey, and we picked cards, and however big the number on the card is how many centimeters that the bee travelled.” –CL “You can use blocks or things that can hook together, and also you can measure how many your tablet is big, you can measure with the blocks. Also, you can measure with the ruler.” –DT "You do an estimate of how big it’s going to be, and then you take the blocks, and if you get it right, that’s good. Even if you don’t get it right, that’s still good, because you were just taking a guess.” –BM We have been using our P.E. time to help develop self-control and spacial awareness, in addition to developing and refining physical movements. "In gym, we did a warmup game with pinnies. Basically, it’s about physical space and how it works is that everyone has one pinny, and you put it in your pocket. And then you take other people’s, and it’s about physical space.” –WBR We were excited to have the opportunity to join the 3/4's for Forest School in Fish Creek Park this week. “We walked to Fish Creek Park and we were trying to make art out of sticks and lots of stuff that was dead on the ground. You’re not allowed to break stuff that’s growing, but if it’s just laying around on the ground, you can use it. We made a heart out of rocks and a bird nest.” –BM “We were writing in our visual journals whatever we saw that was interesting. We were using our four senses, except taste because you could get bad stuff in your mouth.” -CL Important Dates Coming Up Tuesday, June 6: Community Walk (leaving around 10.15a - parent volunteers wanted!) Thursday, June 8: Community Walk to Safeway (leaving around 9.45a - parent volunteers wanted!) Wednesday, June 14: Field Trip to Calgary Corn Maze Thursday, June 15: Spirit Day & Fun Lunch
