We will have a school-wide assembly that day and have planned a walk around our community to show our support, followed by weaving more “hearts” on the fence along 16th to continue the project started two years ago when we first learned about the remains of 215 children found at a Kamlooops Residential School.
LA: Thank you for all your thinking (using both sides of your brain) today in class! Please finish writing 3 more IDEAS about the texts we read, on your Four Quadrants page – due Thursday.

MATHS: Today in Maths students explored how you don’t have to be fast when doing math, but rather to think deeply. They also explored how visualizing is important when learning mathematics and we value different ways of seeing a problem. Different ideas can help others form innovative solutions. There is no “right” or “wrong” way of seeing.
Our 2nd day as a class is done! We’ve been working on getting to know each other, creating graffiti name art, and exploring the following math challenge: make the numbers 1 to 20 using only 4 fours and any operation (+ x ÷ – ). Take a look at our work…
CLASSROOM PROCEDURES: please bring this home, show to your parents and have them initial that they saw it. Bring it back to school tomorrow if possible or by Friday at the latest, thanks!
