Looking at our community

What a busy day in room 6!

We are looking at maps and communities right now in Social Studies. Today, students spent some time looking at Google earth and we talked about what things they might find in their community. We had a great time 'flying' to different places in Calgary.


'Zooming' in to where we live on the Smartboard

How do you get to school?

Students were then asked to think about and draw how they get to school. They started drawing a 'bird's eye' view map of their route to school.

We also started new math centres today, focusing on numbers and counting to 100, went outside for gym, practiced reading with someone (making sure we sat elbow to elbow, knee to knee) AND we read for 12 minutes on our own! Phew - what a great way to start our week together!
