Monday!

First Monday of the school year, and it wasn't bad at all! We started off with a back to school Heritage assembly in the gym where we were welcomed by Mr. Moffatt. We had our first gym class following the assembly- remember that we need gym clothes and indoor shoes!

We had a great time completing a group challenge- an exercise in teamwork skills and critical thinking! Mrs. Waters gave each group 20 pieces of uncooked spaghetti, 1 meter of tape, 1 meter of string, and 1 marshmallow, and the students had to build a free standing tower that could support the weight of the marshmallow. There were some great thinking and building going on! 


We also worked on our classroom beliefs this afternoon.  Together we came up with a list of what we want our class to be like, and then we turned it into a contract! We all signed it, which means we all will try our hardest to make sure that our class is a place we want to be in!
