We've been busy!
When we returned from Winter Holidays, we discovered that Santa (the school division), had delivered our iPads! Finally!
We've used them a TON already! We use them to blog and create reading materials for our class.
We also use them to practice our math skills, to research in science and social studies, and we have even used them in phys.ed class to film and analyze our basketball skills!

We also use them with the 'poll everywhere' website. Mrs. Waters puts a question on the screen and we all answer through our iPads!
In math class we have started subtraction. It can be tough, but it's fun. We've played some games to work on our skills. We have learned that it is the opposite of addition, so knowing our addition helps us solve problems.

Baby Henry returned for another visit. We learned that he got spoiled during his first Christmas!
He was crawling everywhere; he even crawled into one of our lap's!
We weighed him and measured how long he is, and compared it to his weight and height at birth. He is now 18 lbs. and 27 inches! He eats all kinds of food now too!

 We have all brought home forms to fundraise for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. On January 28th, Heritage School will be hosting a Dance-a-Thon all afternoon! There are many prizes available to win for people who bring in pledge money, such as a Samsung tablet. Please try your best to bring in some money to support this very worthy. It's the #1 killer in Canada! Every little bit counts!  We have started Open Mic Fridays. Open Mic Friday is a presentation that we make in front of our classmates. We can choose our own topic, and we can bring in materials that will help us present. It has to be anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes in length. We try to make sure we have good eye contact, speak loudly, and put expression into our voices. Make sure you practice (in front of your family)! As an audience member we need to make sure we listen respectfully and pay attention. The audience also gives feedback to the presenter on what we liked and what we can improve on for next time. It has been a great beginning to 2014! Stay tuned for more frequent posts! :) |
