We had an exciting week beginning with a juggling presentation and lesson on Monday. We had a lot of fun and learned about balance, coordination, and juggling a variety of objects.
Our class also had Buddy Time with Team 8 (Grade 1). We learned about the Seven Sacred Teachings and Miss Cichosz read us a story about respect and the buffalo. After talking about respect and how to respect nature, we collected found materials outdoors, such as pine cones, dry leaves, and twigs. Next Buddy Time, we will assemble these materials to make artwork that shows what respect means to us.
Our class also started working with perimeter, area, and volume in our math study of Shape and Space. We explored the typical dimensions of a Haudenosaunee longhouse (approximately 10 m. wide, 10 m. tall, and 25 m. long with a curved roof) as part of our First Peoples' study in Social Studies. We learned how to find the perimeter, floor area, and approximate volume of a longhouse. Our week was full of learning and fun!
