Welcome back! We had a great day in room 51. Students started off the morning with gym with Mr. MacKenzie’s class where they continued to practice their floor hockey skills at a variety of centres. After gym students enjoyed literacy centres, where they are continuing to use their daily bull’s-eye checklists to monitor their behavior and productivity. During music students continued to practice with recorders.
Today in Social Studies we re-visited our critical question in social studies of “What is life like in Peru?” After completing their posters, students realized they understand a lot more about what life is like in Peru. Today they really got a chance to put themselves in someone else’s shoes as they watched an informational video following a day in the life of Alex, a 9 year old living in Peru. Students were asked to take notes throughout and write down: 3 things they learned, 2 questions they have, and 1 comment. Students really felt like they lived a day in Peru and it helped them make connections to our life here in Alberta.
Please see the side tabs of the blog (School News and Events --> Naming Evergreen Middle School) for a link to complete a survey for the new name for Evergreen Middle School.
Question of the Day
What is one thing you learned or one question you have from the Social Studies video about Peru?
Have a great night!
