Happy Friyay Families,

Students have been busy preparing for our Room 6 and 9 Zoo School sharing assembly that will take place on Tuesday afternoon. We will share the assembly with families Tuesday on Google Classroom. 

Mrs. Morden and Ms. Bouchard introduced a sculpturing task by sharing an Example and non Example of a beaver sculpture. Students co created success criteria, which they referred to while creating their own Animal Sculpture. 

Success criteria:

• I can use clay modeling techniques to create an real to life animal representation
• I can add details, patterns or textures to the surface

 

Real to life: colour, shape, physical features, texture

 

Clay modeling techniques: rolling, pinching, adding, pressing, making coils

Example & Non Example:

 This week we explored a new math warm up routine called "Magic Squares". Students were to use the known numbers to find the unknown numbers where the sum of each row, column and diagonal are the same. Here is an example of our math talk, after all students attempted the magic squares puzzle independently we came together to share our mathematical thinking and strategies used. This is documentation of students sharing their problem solving strategies. 

Have a great weekend! 

Mrs. Morden
