Our day began with an exciting visit from the Grey Cup! A big thanks to Mark and Andrea Kilam for bringing it over! After that, we had a healthy dose of Physical Education. After that, we continued our Words Their Way work where we searched our reading books for words that ended in either -k, -ck, -ke. During our Inquiry, we reviewed the photos we took during our community walk on Friday. We had a discussion about the needs of a community and we thought critically about how Tuscany might be fulfilling these needs. In the afternoon, we did our first session of One World Drumming where we learned some basic beats and a bit about African drumming culture. Following this, we read the book Fly Away Home and engaged in a discussion about homelessness. Finally, we had math where we learned about the Fibonacci Sequence. It was a good day and we can't wait for tomorrow!
Reminders....
One World Drumming:
Our drumming residency started today and the sounds of drums have filled the hallways. Our students will be learning songs to share with you on the morning of December 14th in a similar fashion to our performances from Sound Kreations. The schedule with specific times is being confirmed with our instructor today and will be available tomorrow.
