TITANIC

In Literacy we are studying the history of the Titanic and some of the passengers that survived and died during the voyage of 1912.  Our focus is to learn about the time period of 1912 and what lead to the sinking of the Titanic.  We will be reading several novels related to the ship and students are required to complete mini assignments as they read their novel.  We will also be completing a REPORT based on a passenger from the Titanic.  The students will be asked to complete a written and oral report about a passenger that interests them.

BEDMAS

BEDMAS  is Order of Operations in math and we are using BEDMAS to solve multi-step math problems.  Check out a video to remind you how to perform the operations in order BEDMAS SONG

The next few weeks in Math are devoted to BEDMAS and finding number patterns in algebra.

ROOTS of EMPATHY

Roots of Empathy is an evidence-based classroom program that has shown significant effect in reducing levels of aggression among schoolchildren by raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy. The program reaches elementary schoolchildren from Kindergarten to Grade 8.

Today our Child and Youth Worker (Laurie Nicholson) began this awesome program with our class.  Our latest and greatest teacher at Tay Shores Public School will be THOMAS!

On Wednesday, November 11th Thomas will meet our class!  We look forward to meeting him and his mom.
