My apologies for the long gap between posts! We did have a long break in there, but I was also out sick the end of the last week (not COVID, thank goodness... just stuffy noses, coughs, and plugged ears running rampant through my house).
Last week in class, the students did some reflecting and goal setting. They began a new social unit, focused on Alberta's history, and focused on fossils and fossil history. In math, the re-familiarized themselves with the routines and expectations, and refreshed their memories of what they had been learning about. They also began a new writing unit in Information Writing. I want to thank the students for their excellent behaviour and support - Mrs. Sherwood had great things to say about the class while I was away.
