We had a fantastic morning collaborating with our friends, teachers, and learning assistants from Kindergarten to Third Grade today for our Holiday Hoorah! We worked in mixed groups so that the older students could help the younger students. In Mrs. Amanda's room students played a games. In Mrs. Jennifer's room, students sang songs. In Mrs. Yvonne's room, students read stories, and in our room, students did crafts. We did four 20 minute rotations so that we could all do each activity. It was a great experience. After that, we went back to our math centre rotations, measuring the rest of the students in our class. Some adults came by to be measured too (photos below). We encourage any parents who would like to be included on our height chart to come up to have your child measure you, and take a photo. We also read the book 'Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.' We began to write reasons why we should let the pigeon drive the bus, and reasons why not. We will be using these in a persuasive letter to the bus driver tomorrow. See video below.
