Tuesday, January 17


Day 8

Our morning began in mathematics where the students continued their work on completing a survey. They worked in groups to gather the information for Mr. Sawatsky to send to ‘Statistics Canada’.
he students continued with mathematics after gym with Mr. H.











We then had first lunch and recess followed by the Healthy Food Stall and UOI. During the Healthy Food Stall, the students were given the opportunity to buy healthy food from the Grade 1’s stall. All proceeds will be donated to the Sick Kids Hospital. 












In UOI we were joined by Grade 2 OJ and were given a challenge to identify traditions from a range of cultures. The students were told that there were envelopes around the room with a clue inside and they had to try to uncover which holiday it was from. 


















After that we had second lunch and recess, followed by French, agendas and Chapter 2 of our novel study.
