Later in the morning, students were engaged in drawing the skull of a buffalo. The photos below prove how successful they were and how fabulous their work was.
Yesterday the students recorded words to describe the skulls they observed. Today the students used these words to start working on poetry with these words in groups.
The Joy Pod had a guest today from the University of Lethbridge. She is an Assistant Principal at a school in Calgary who is doing her Masters in Education and is studying Place Based Learning. She will be working with students in our class who are willing and whose parents wish for them to participate in her study. Information went home with students today. Please return the forms (if you wish for your child to participate in the study) by Monday, December 2nd.
Mrs. Kinsman is working on a novel study with the Joy Pod students. She has asked that the students complete their first task in their journals (see below). They only need to complete the first two tasks by next Wednesday.
In the afternoon, book club met with Mrs. Kinsman. She has assigned homework for all students. They've brought home their notebooks where they are to complete the work assigned.
After a few moments of joke & riddle telling students took part in poetry and coding activities.
Lastly, students participated in our read aloud of "Ticket to Curlew".
