We had some Kindness Ninjas visit us today!

Things to remember:
  • Bring in a travel mug or mug (safely carried with your name) to use in class tomorrow.  It will come home tomorrow at lunch.
  • Don't forget to bring your SECRET GNOME permission slip so you can participate. 

Kindergarten visited to spread kindness - they were our Kindness Ninjas! 
This goes perfectly with our building kindness and caring for our classmates with our upcoming SECRET GNOME!  We will see what it feels like to GIVE from the hear! 


This is our Closest to the Gnarly (do the universal surfing sign) Number game we played in Math today.  Students played (aka learned) with a partner to estimate, then show any addition strategy to see who got closest to the Gnarly Number (100, 1000 or 10 000).  They had a lot of fun.  I am sure they could play this at home with you.  You just need a deck of cards and some paper. 


For Social Studies we are researching Alberta's Natural Regions.  We are looking for facts about each of the 6 regions.  Some of the categories are the Indigenous Tribes, Vegetation, Animals, Waterways, etc.  We had troubles finding a map with the regions and the Tribe,s so some students traced one on our window. Then Ms. Treena taped a map with some Tribes behind so we can add these facts to our research notes.
