As communicated a couple days ago, today we were able to learn through pretending that a natural disaster happened in our classroom. Our students had many questions this morning when they discovered the classroom furniture was moved around and caution tape was on the doors. It was interesting to listen to their ideas and curiosities as we travelled to RT Alderman to continue our learning in a ‘temporary’ location. This lead to a morning where we learned all about things such as; what happens in a real natural disaster, real life problem solving, hypothesizing what might have happened in our classroom, empathy for others who face unexpected challenges and some great story writing.
3 Things We Learned Today:
1. "Today we learned about empathy so our classroom was blocked off with caution tape and everything was trashed around places" S.M.
2. "At R.T. Alderman we learned about our basic needs and what we would use to survive if we had to be evacuated for the whole day" S.C.
3. "Today we learned a new song and it is called The Prep Step" M.S.
Reminders:
1. I can wear my scouts, beavers, guides or brownies uniform to school tomorrow for our Remembrance Day assembly.
2. Please return zoo field study to school ASAP.
3. Book orders are due no later than Friday, November 16th.
