Today the students worked really hard on their Hockey Math and practiced converting fractions into percents using players' hockey statistics. Between recess and lunch they ran fitness stations with their buddy class in the gym, getting lots of exercise and having lots of fun! In the afternoon, after silent reading and nap time :) we talked about different types of scams, identity theft, and phishing. No homework this weekend! P.A.R.: Take the weekend off:)

This afternoon the students shared their identity boxes with each other, which was really cool to watch. Students had filled their identity boxes with things that they felt demonstrated Belonging and Generosity. Listening to them explain why they chose certain items was really engaging!

We then worked on our Novel Approach reading strategies after recess while I modeled visual thinking while reading text. This led to some wonderful connections and discussions in the class. I was really excited to see how much I learned as well while demonstrating the reading strategies.
In the afternoon we did some reading with our buddy class before carrying on with Novel Approach. We talked about inferences, making connections, and accessing our background knowledge.
