We continued dancing with Shirley Hill today. Students learned the friendship dance and how to make a war cry. We also hoop danced while Shirley walked around and blew bubbles. Our performance will be on Friday morning at 11am.
For Pink Shirt Day, we read a book called "The Juice Box Bully" by Bob Sornson and Maria Dismondy. It talks about a class that makes a promise to stand up for each other and not tolerate bad behaviour. We talked about bullies, and how often they are bullied themselves, and they start to pick on other people as a defense mechanism. We all made a promise to be kind and to stand up to others when they are being unkind or showing bad behaviour. We made paper juice boxes, decorated them, and wrote our promise on them. In math we continued working on addition strategies. We are now working on "friends of 10": numbers that add together to make 10. This strategy will help students break larger numbers apart to make 10s for simpler mental math.
