167th day of January

It feels like the 167th day of January.  We are all so so so tired of this snow.  I look forward to the day when my coat room is not littered with mitts, toques and snow pants!!

We started today with a personal reflection of our Box Project.  Students were thinking and writing about their experience with the engineering process.  We will have a look at them at the end of our science unit.

Students are comparing their school to the school of a child in India, Peru, Ukraine or Tunisia.  We have done lots of reading, we have textbooks and have seen videos now we are thinking how we are the same and how we are different and if their quality of life plays a role.

Despereaux has broken the most basic and elemental of all mice rules - he has revealed himself to humans.  This was the basis of our discussion during novel study.  His brother saw what was doing and went to tell father.  Students then drew their best mental image of what was happening and wrote a short paragraph about their picture.
