Hello from Mrs Dijkstra and Owl and Owl

Origami Pig

For our Friday Challenge today we made an origami pig. That's because one of the Big Ideas videos that we watched on Class Dojo taught us about Respect. It likened respect to a piggy bank. If we treat people the way we want to be treated we earn and gather respect. It is something that happens over time like collecting gold coins.

Counting

Today we used a variety of materials to practice our counting. We were learning the difference between our "teen" (11, 12, 13, 14,15, 16, 17, 18, 19) and "ty" numbers ( 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90)

Construction Set

Mrs Dijkstra brought a giant construction set. Astin, Cameron and Alex used the parts to invent these creations. What clever building!

A pair of old slippers to chew

Mrs Dijkstra read us a story called "Arthur". It is about a dog who lived in a pet shop and desperately wanted a home and an owner to love him and a pair of old slippers to chew. Our Friday challenge was to design and make those slippers from a store brought paper bag. We had some amazing creations and inventions. We are learning to stretch our brain and problem solve. If it's tricky and we are in the learning pit that's ok, we can ask for help or try to figure it out for ourselves.
