We started the morning with a little bit of Mindfulness with Mme Annie. This was her third visit. So far we learned about mindful listening, mindful breathing and today about thoughtfulness (being able to change how we feel by thinking about someone who is nice and kind to us or someone who makes us happy.)
We then did some quiet reading followed by our Math quiz. We also started talking about our next math lesson in subtraction.
Following Math, we had a lovely lady Mme Suzanne visiting our classroom all the way from Quebec to read to us in French. We loved listening to her read Le Petit Prince.
After recess, we went to the Library and had our French spelling test. We wrapped up the morning by organizing our things a little to make things nice for when our parents come and visit for Parent - Teacher conferences.
After lunch, we did some Raz-Kids, did our weekly recycling of the whole school, wrote our English spelling test, organized our desks and wrapped up the day with our Sharing circle.
Our Christmas tree has grown today by one more egg container. Please continue to help us grow it by sending in your empty egg cartons. We will be painting them as soon as we have more and we will recycle them after Christmas.
