Students in Room 5 are settling well into classroom routines and expectations. We are learning how to move about our shared classroom & school space with grace and courtesy, showing respect for ourselves, others and the environment.
To help better organize work expectations during work period, students have started using personal Daily Work Journals. At the beginning of each morning, Daily Work Journals are filled out and students are expected to use these throughout the day as they can refer to their list of jobs for the day, helping them become organized and self directed learners.
We have had a very busy start to the school year, already delving into some exciting projects.
Students worked diligently to create realistic and accurate self portraits for the first page in their visual journals. We spoke about sketching with light lines, as well as adding details that make each of us unique such as eye colour, freckles, jewelry etc.
In an effort to get to know one another, we completed an art projected titled "I can't imagine life without". Students brainstormed people and things that they cannot imagine their life without, we then engaged in a lesson on how to artistically organize our page paying attention to space, font, line, and colour.
Ask your child about these packages that were found in our classroom Monday morning:
Please be sure to return completed forms in the brown envelope to the school by the end of this week. If your envelope has been misplaced, please let Mrs Morden know right away.
Have a wonderful evening,
Mrs. Morden
