Here is a great website to use to continue to practice your math facts.

Preparing for our jigsaw

Room 206 is ready for our continent cooperative learning jigsaw project

Cooperative activity

Today we had a blast trying to make a perch for our new classroom friends, the Harry’s! The students worked together to make the safest and tallest perch for Harry with only 6 pipe cleaners, aluminium foil, 12 inches of tape, 2 cupcake wrappers, and 2 index cards. This is what they came up with!

A fun Friday

 Flash light Friday’s!

 Mystery readers are a blast! Loved your books!

Our new positive behavior incentive program

Hi all- room 206 is very excited to introduce our new ticket incentive program for positive and expected behaviors.  We are working on making good choices, receiving positive reinforcement and learning about money.  Each day students can earn 4 different types of tickets. A blue ticket is worth a penny, a yellow ticket is work a nickel, a green ticket is worth a dime, and an orange ticket is worth a quarter. Each day students may or may not receive tickets for making great choices and being caught in a positive academic and/or behavior act throughout the school day. At the end of the week students will exchange their tickets for coins and then count their money. They can choose to save their money, or to spend some of their money to buy something in our store.  After they exchange their tickets for money, their tickets are added to a jar that I pick from once a week, like a raffle.  Students put their earnings into their coin purses, like a wallet, purse, or savings account.  We are learning how to add, subtract, and exchange money. We are also learning how to save and make change. Together we brainstormed what students could do to earn each different coin/ticket. Everyone is trying to get the orange tickets. Room 206 is very excited...

A fun winter break kick-off party.

Thank you to all the room parents and parent helpers today for a great winter break kick-off party!

Fun with shapes

Today we explored with shapes and pattern blocks!

A great day of building towers and testing our designs.

Building Towers

Today we learned about the properties that make for stable towers... what materials can we use to make sturdy towers, what design would work best and be the required 45cm tall and not blow over with a strong wind (the fan)? Look at the great engineers we have in room 206!
