Today we had quite a busy day with a few last minute changes. We did our morning message and also did a Journal entry about what we think we will learn from baby Teagan. Teagan will be the baby that will visit us every week for 27 weeks with her mother as part of the Roots of Empathy program in which our class is participating. We had an introductory visit with Emmanuel our instructor yesterday. We saw a picture of the baby and learned about empathy and temperment.
When found out that our Drama class was cancelled we continued with our Journal and also added mispelled words from our Journal into our new personal dictionaries created by Ms. Jean. It will keep track of words we want to spell and also contains commonly mispelled words so we have it on hand for quick reference when we are writing.
We worked to complete any unfinished Math.
After lunch Ms. Jean read "The Name Jar". We predicted what it might be about and then confirmed whether our predictions were correct or not. In addition, we also learned the importance of valuing one's name and why names are important.
After that we did an art activity. We used three colours and a variety of media to create some abstract art. I added a video below to show how hard everyone worked at this art activity.
Here are a few samples of the finished pieces.
