Early October and Thanksgiving Art

Our focus for the first week of October included review of the big ideas of Growth Mindset. Photos of our bulletin board on Growth Mindset are included below which include examples of what we imagine our brains look like when we seek challenges; the more lines (connections) we have in our brains (due to challenges) the more we're growing our brains!

We also explored shapes using tangrams and continued our work with measurement. Our class began our study about the First Peoples of Canada. We read, discussed, and summarized the main points of the scientific theories regarding Beringia and will continue debating and sharing our understanding this coming week.

Our class also enjoyed making autumn themed cards with our Grade 1 buddies. We finished the cards on Friday by writing Thanksgiving messages inside. Happy Thanksgiving!
