We had another busy day of learning in room 51! We have been discussing different “points-of-view” during our class read alouds, and students have completed a series of journal entries where they put themselves in the shoes of the main character. Today we got a chance to view a short video about various schools in India, and students were asked to think critically as they watched the film. They wrote down some thoughts and wonderings while watching, and they thought about things from a different perspective as they compared our school to various schools in India. This was very eye opening for students and we had some great discussions about quality of life in different places around the world.
This afternoon we had another visit from Mrs. Nicole, our school OT, to help us learn more about the zones of regulation. She discussed with us some different types of triggers that can make us lose control over which zone we are in. For example, different types of tasks, people and even different events can be triggers. We learned that the same trigger can be negative for some people, and positive for others. One person may love the rides at Calaway Park, but they can be scary for others. We realized how it is important to be aware of our own triggers. We will continue implementing these strategies in the classroom.
Students were assigned math homework on mathletics today. Please login and complete the assigned multiplication and division homework.
We are looking to collect some flyers for an upcoming math project. If you have any extra flyers please send them to school with your child! Thank you.
On Tuesday May 5th our class and Mrs. Predika’s class will be going on a field trip to the Glenbow Museum. We will get a chance to explore various artifacts from Tunisia, Peru, Ukraine and India. Permission forms will be sent home tomorrow, and we need 7 volunteers to accompany us. Please send me an email if you are able to volunteer.
