Collaboration, Visualization, Advent and Moustache Day

We are waiting...

Yesterday, we worked on a math inquiry related to water conservation. We were also looking to see how students collaborated with each other.  Some of the groups were able to figure out the answer to the question using a chart.  Take a look at some of the ways we solved the inquiry question (and NO Mrs. Addison's tap is NOT leaking...):


This group used repeated addition (and kept track of the hours too!)

This group made a chart to figure out the problem!



A chart is a great tool!

Using a T Chart is a great strategy!  Do you see a pattern?  

This is all the kids were shown !
Did you know that good readers use visualization to help them understand a story?
We continue to work on this reading strategy and are getting better at creating mental images.  We read 'The Paperboy' three times this week without seeing the pictures. After the third time. we had to pick a part of the story that we visualized and draw what we saw in our mind.  Finally. we got to see the actual pictures in the book.  We did a great job of visualizing this beautiful, simple story. Take a look at some our drawings in this Flipagram!



We raised money for Movember and many students were seen sporting some pretty cool moustaches!





We also are preparing for Advent by singing songs and setting up our prayer table.  The front lobby of St. Cecilia looks beautiful!

Thanks you Liam and Archer for helping set up our prayer table:)
