Today in class we started with Social Studies and were focused on the 3 types of maps Region, Province and Treaty we got a paper that overlapped the Region map and the Province map. We colored it with crayons. Next we had Physical Ed where we laid out poly spots and made two sides with multiple smaller teams inside the two sides. Every team would get the ball and dribble a ball on to that spot by trapping it at the end. They would try to score and if the player did, they would gain one poly spot. We read the book A Rovers Story and found that the Rover in the story is getting closer to going to mars. So we did Literacy Stations with the decision of continuing the story everyone has been working on based of a folktale of animals getting something or doing our Literacy Stations Wetland Story/Folktale Story. We did Maker Space with another class and had a lot of fun with robots and toys. After Lunch we are doing some Reading and Math and after recess we will do Art. :) -written by Joshua ...
