MSTDS Zipline by Alexis Today flew by, but times flies when youre having fun!  We started out the day setting up our work page and with me opening the agenda's to check for notes!  Then we went straight to work.  Today's spelling word was "monkey" and our introduction sentences were for a pretend story called "How to catch a monkey".  We doodled a sea monster and put our papers in our duotangs before we walked down the hall for language arts with Mrs. Hill.  In langage arts today we did some vocabulary games and drills on the smart board and got to play a game of sight word BINGO!  After a beautiful recess outside we had a special math class.  On Fridays instead of a regular math class we do an activity I call "Make Something that Does Something".  Every Friday students will have to work in small groups to make something to try and win a challenge I give.  The task is usually easy, but made difficult by the fact that students must work in a group.  Todays challenge was to build a machine that could take weight down a string like a zipline.  Did your bucket go faster and further with more weight or less weight?  Will heavier things fall faster or slower?  After lunch we were very lucky to take a quick cookie break!  A very special thank you to Miramichi Honda for sending our entire school a Tim Hortons Smiley face cookie!  After we all had a cookie we sat down and drew a Minion!  You know the students like the art lesson when many of them refuse to give you their work because they want to take it home.  Some students said I could display it on my board in the hall for one day!  They all did a great job!  After Art we had PE with Mrs. Hache.  It was a game day Friday followed by a dance party that was HOT HOT HOT!  We finished off our day by getting our agenda's signed and we had a quick dance party of our own.  Remember that this Sunday is the Fall Fair!  The weather reports are fluxuating, but use your best judgement.  If it is raining it will be cancelled.  You can also check the front page of the school website on Sunday if you're uncertain!  Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you bright and early Monday morning!
