Micro:bit Programming!
Today we looked at some example of the art project we are working on. We used these examples to build success criteria for our project (click here). It was amazing to see how well students were able to do this! Now that we know where we want to get to, with a little hard work,  we will all be able to reach the destination! In the afternoon we had Sam, a trained Mirco:bit programmer, in to teach us how to use computer programming to create some amazing tools such and a light sensor and a digital thermometer. Some student even created a hypothesis to test if their thermometer could measure negative temperatures. We then put the micro:bit in the freezer and tested it! It was so awesome to see learned science in acton:)

The morning was spent working on finishing up our final round of fitness testing. Students ran the BEEP TEST for the fourth time. From recess to lunch students worked hard with Ms. Chung to prepare for the intermediate concert on Friday. In the afternoon students worked on their bodies in motion art. While students worked  on their art they each had a Year-End Report Conference with me. We looked at each students learning summaries for term 1 and term 2 and created an average for each subject area for their final report card.

Today students spent time going through their Fresh Grade portfolios and creating an Learning Evaluation Summary which will be used to create their Year-End Report Card. In PE we got started on our final round of fitness testing. It was great to see some students still improving their muscle strength and endurance in our 4th round of testing. AMAZING! Between recess and lunch we reviewed what it means to be a good digital citizen and learned that our digital dossier starts even before we are born. In the afternoon, we had music and started a visual arts project working focusing on movement and proportion.

Today Division 1 was at it again.  We had a guest in the classroom talking about the brain and communication.  After recess the math evaluation took place, and our field hockey self evaluation.  The afternoon started with the return of the Science evaluations and a FreshGrade session to get all our recient projects loaded and reflected upon.  We then had a suprise Fire Drill.  The day finished off with the students working on their Grade 7 rap.  And for me as a student teacher with these worderful students of Division 1 it is almost a wrap.  Last day tomorrow with this amazing group.  I cannot believe how fast 10 weeks has gone, but with another day tomorrow, #thelearningneverstops!

Science and Diversity

Today at Laurier division 1 had another wonderful day of learning.  We started off the day with our Chemistry evaluation in Science, and then managed a short 30 minute PE block. In PE the students ended the field hockey unit playing mini games.  After recess, we had music and then a final review before our Measurement evaluation in Math tomorrow.  The afternoon started with a special guest  speaking  to the class about diversity.  There were sharing circles, activities and good discussions. As you can see in the picture, when at first we may seem so very different there is a good chance you can still find that you also have something in common.  The day ended with an earthbites meal before another game of Stones. 
IMPORTANT: 
  • today some of you received big red notes to remind you to wash and return your track jerseys.  Ms. Boucher needs them back ASAP
  • we still have students (Kheyria, Nicholas, and Taya) who have not yet submitted photos to karenlidhar@gmail.com, please do so ASAP, so you can be a part of the year end slide show.

We started the day off thinking critically.  The students of division 1 were asked to provide examples for the reflection on critical thinking.  Students had their last chance to work on their socials projects.  After recess the students did a few 2 minute writes.  Next the sorry "We Are All Dots" was read to the class and they were asked to do a write on what they thought the theme was and if they thought it was an award winning message.  We did a quick math lesson were students were challenged with some word problems to see if they understand the measurment concepts.  After lunch there was a Science review before the sudents has some time to get some fresh air with a game of stones.
