In math we're finishing up our multiplication unit, and decided to use some technology with it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In groups we created word problems that required multiplication in order to solve. On scrap paper we solved our own questions, and then took our answers to Mrs. Waters. She showed us how to create a QR code on a special website that would show our answer when you scanned it, and she printed it off for us. Next, we turned our word problem into a poster, decorated them, and glued our QR code onto our poster. </div>

Once our posters were finished, Mrs. Waters hung them up around the classroom, and put an iPad beside each one. We had to read the problem, solve it, and then use the QR code reader app to check if we got the correct answer. It was lots of fun!</div>

Hello Parents! It's Mrs. Waters here with a lesson for you! We've been working a lot on multiplication in our class over the past few weeks, and I thought it might be helpful for you to actually see how we use various strategies in Room 23. Check out the videos! If you have any questions, feel free to fire me an email! We thought using the Tellagami and Show Me apps would be helpful to teach you! Enjoy!</div>

Our school is a part of the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy, which gives students a chance to learn how to play hockey when they normally might not have that opportunity. The WJHA provides all of the equipment, ice time, coaches, and even nutrition and academic support. Some of our classmates are very fortunate; over half of Room 23 are student athletes! We know just how lucky we are, and we appreciate EVERYTHING that the WJHA does for us!</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We know that one way to give thanks is to give back to our community ourselves. We are big fans of a local lady, Althea Guiboche, and the work that she does in Winnipeg! You might know her as 'The Bannock Lady'. Every week, no matter what the weather is, Althea makes a ton of bannock, gathers things like bottled water, fresh fruit, and granola bars, and goes and feeds our city's homeless. She feeds over a hundred people every week! We think that's pretty amazing! Doing this every week is expensive though. She gets help with some donations, but the need never ends.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Together with our friends in Mr. B's Grade 4 and 5 class, we are going to try to help her out! This week, on Thursday February 27th, our WJHA student athletes will be competing in the First Annual Heritage School Winter Classic! It is being held at 1:30pm at the Heritage - Victoria Community Club (our local outdoor rink on Sturgeon Road). Our entire school will be leaving classes to come support us, but in order to get their ticket to our game, they will be either bringing a toonie, or some food that Althea can use (bannock supplies like flour and baking powder, or bottled water or granola bars). Althea will be there in attendance to drop the honourary puck for us! </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone who wants to come cheer us on is more than welcome! Also, if you'd like to help us out and make a donation, some of us will be in charge of collecting food and money.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for your support! Keep your fingers crossed for warm weather!! :)</div>

Our class LOVES Kid President! If you haven't seen his work on YouTube, please do yourself a favour and go watch some of his videos! He's a very funny kid, and always has a positive message for kids to hear. His videos make us feel good!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently he posted a video about what kids need to know about the world; it's like a how-to video on how to be a good human being. Watch it here:</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He issued a challenge to kids to add to his list, and so we decided to do it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We made our own list and made a quick video! Check out what we created!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We hope you like it! We'll be tweeting our video to Kid President! We'll let you know if we get a response! :) Keep your fingers crossed!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We also use them to practice our math skills, to research in science and social studies, and we have even used them in phys.ed class to film and analyze our basketball skills!</div>

In math class we have started subtraction. It can be tough, but it's fun. We've played some games to work on our skills. We have learned that it is the opposite of addition, so knowing our addition helps us solve problems.</div>

Baby Henry returned for another visit. We learned that he got spoiled during his first Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was crawling everywhere; he even crawled into one of our lap's!</div>

We weighed him and measured how long he is, and compared it to his weight and height at birth. He is now 18 lbs. and 27 inches! He eats all kinds of food now too!</div>

We have all brought home forms to fundraise for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. On January 28th, Heritage School will be hosting a Dance-a-Thon all afternoon! There are many prizes available to win for people who bring in pledge money, such as a Samsung tablet. Please try your best to bring in some money to support this very worthy. It's the #1 killer in Canada! Every little bit counts!<br />

We have started Open Mic Fridays.<br />
Open Mic Friday is a presentation that we make in front of our classmates. We can choose our own topic, and we can bring in materials that will help us present. It has to be anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes in length. We try to make sure we have good eye contact, speak loudly, and put expression into our voices. Make sure you practice (in front of your family)! As an audience member we need to make sure we listen respectfully and pay attention. The audience also gives feedback to the presenter on what we liked and what we can improve on for next time.<br />
<br />
It has been a great beginning to 2014!<br />
Stay tuned for more frequent posts! :)</td></tr>

One of our goals as a class this school year is to find joy everyday! It can be tough, especially when we are on week 3 of indoor recess... BUT we sure did have some fun this afternoon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got together with Mr. B's class and we held a 'Holiday Minute to Win It'! We were put into 4 teams and we had different challenges we had to do. We all had a blast!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some photos of our afternoon!</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All you need are sturdy paper plates and pens for each player.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The leader tells the players to put their paper plate on their head.</span></span></div>

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then the leader will give a series of instructions for the players to draw on their paper plates (that are on their heads) without looking.</span></div>

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">

</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">

Today was Friday the 13th, but we were pretty lucky! We had PJ day because yesterday was our Holiday Concert. We were exhausted! We decided we earned a day to be LAZY! We turned on the fireplace and spent the morning reading, relaxing, and watching a movie. After lunch we went for a quick library class to stock up on new books for the break, and then we did a fun art project. We were making birch trees scenes at either night or dusk. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To begin, we had to decide if we wanted our scene to be oriented either landscape or portrait. Next we took green painters tape and created our trees with branches.</div>

We had to make sure that there were no air bubbles in the tape, or else it would ruin our nice white trees. Our next step was to take watercolour paints and cover the whole paper in colour. We had to make sure all of the white parts of the paper were covered.</div>

We have spent some time talking in Social Studies class about Indigenous contributions to science. Indigenous people have been scientists for thousands of years, and the science community is finally starting to realize just how useful their traditional knowledge is to our world today. Indigenous have a very sophisticated understanding of the world around us, as they traditionally depended on the land and its plants and animals to survive.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We learned some really interesting things! We studied the engineering ideas behind building homes such as tipis, igloos, and pit houses, and how to build the right kind of canoe for certain bodies of water. We learned that they used astronomy in order to find their way around. They use their knowledge of animals and ecology to understand sustainability. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you know:</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-when a habitat is becoming polluted, frogs are the first animals to go? </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-when the grasshoppers are active and singing, the air conditions are ideal to dry meat like fish?</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-a birch bark canoe can carry 40 times its own weight?</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-a well-built igloo can hold the weight of a fully grown adult?</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-there are many plants in nature that Indigenous people use for medicine? For example, red willow acts as a medicine similar to Aspirin, and cedar can be boiled as a tea to treat colds and flus</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are happy to see that natural resource businesses such as forestry and fishing are starting to use the knowledge that Indigenous people have in order to better protect our environment.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our class is going to be starting something new and exciting!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We've been blogging as a class for a while now, and I think my students are ready for a new challenge: writing their own blogs!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now don't get too scared, I'm not turning the kids loose into cyber space! There's a really neat platform that we'll be using called 'Kidblog', which is specifically designed for younger kids to learn the art of blogging SAFELY.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This link can give you some more information:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://kidblog.org/why-kidblog/" target="_blank">Why Kidblog?</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The kids and I have spent a lot of time talking about why we blog, and what makes a good blogpost. We've emphasized a lot about personal safety, and how to be a responsible digital citizen. This is going to be a great place for them to further develop their writing skills, and will serve almost as a digital portfolio of sorts! They will have the opportunity to see their writing grow over the school year!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The great thing about Kidblog is the fact that I will still have control over what is being published; when a student wants to post their work, it automatically gets submitted to me for approval first. I receive an email and get the chance to approve, deny, edit, or comment on whatever is being created. Once it meets the criteria that we have set as a class, then I will approve it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another great thing is I can give parents specific passwords to view their child's writing!</div>

We had a blast today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to a Winnipeg Jets practice today at the MTS Centre. We each received some Timbits in a bag and a juice box to snack on while we watched. Mick E. Moose was there too, and so we took some pictures with him!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Jets players were awesome! They worked hard during their practice time! Some of our Hockey Academy students noticed that they even did some of the same drills!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a really fun morning! A huge thank you to Mr. Green and the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club for giving us such a wonderful opportunity!</div>

Today we were honoured to welcome a special guest to our school: Eric Wilson! Mr. Wilson is a famous writer! He writes mystery novels for children that are set in Canadian cities. He came to talk to us about his life as an author, how he got started, and how we can improve our own writing. He was a lot of fun! </div>

Today we had our first of three visits with our new friend Lynne Mulvihill. Lynne is an architect and came to help us build 3D maps of Canada. She taught us how to draw Canada, free-hand, and then gave us materials to represent the different geographical regions. Over the next two classes we will be adding homes to the map that represent traditional Indigenous homes (different homes from different regions), and weather systems as well. We can't wait to see how they turn out!</div>

It's a rhyming book about a bookmobile (a library on wheels) that travels to the zoo to introduce the animals there to reading! It mentioned some books that we enjoy, such as Dr. Seuss and Harry Potter. The author made some connections between reading and writing in the story that we discuss a lot in our class; as the animals read more and more, they started to write their own stories. Mrs. Waters is always telling us that reading helps you become a better writer! It inspires you!</div>

In other news today, we got our homework folders sent home for the first time! We discussed the homework as a class, and there are also instructions for parents inside the folder. Tune into the blog tomorrow, as our class is creating a 'How To Do Homework in Room 23' video! </div>

We started a new unit in math this week! Place value is an essential concept in math; it's the foundation for all number operations! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In math class, kids need to know how to say a number, how to write it in standard form, how to expand it into place value, and how to represent it in a variety of ways. In grade 4, students are expected to work with numbers up to 10 000, and grade 5's up to 1 000 000. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In our math class today we had a fun scavenger hunt! Twenty-four cards with Base 10 block pictures were hidden around the room. The students had to find all of these cards, and write the number in standard form on their sheet. It was great to move around the class, and a bit of a challenge to find all of the cards! Here are some photos from our hunting!</div>

We did a countdown today! There are exactly 21 days (3 weeks) until Halloween! That means we need to get our costumes organized, including Mrs. Waters. She's not sure what she's going to wear, so she asked for our opinions! We had some ideas, and so we decided to turn it into a class book! Mrs. Waters gave us a paper with her head on it, and this is what we did!</div>

We had a great day today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mrs. Lockhart came to Room 23 this morning for our very first Roots of Empathy class! She is an expert in teaching this course, and we're all very excited for it! Our baby this year is Henry, and just happens to be Mrs. Waters' nephew! We talked about babies and what they need, and brainstormed some questions we can ask Henry's Mom when they come for the first visit next Wednesday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We can't wait!</div>
