We began the day with Health, discussing what resiliency is and some strategies for improving our own resiliency. Then students began illustrating/describing four of these eight strategies on puzzle pieces, which we will continue on Thursday.
In Math we corrected the basic division fact questions that we had completed on Friday and then began answering word problems involving basic division facts. Students had to read carefully and weed out irrelevant information in order to answer each question.
In Phys. Ed. we played Belly Ball, and one of the students from our class scored an extra five runs by kicking the ball through a basketball hoop!! It was really cool!
In Language Arts we wrote written reflections about our monthly quote for February.
A reminder that tomorrow is our final Winsport day this year, so come prepared!

Following our usual Quiet Reading/Unfinished Work block after lunch, we began exploring our next region of Canada: The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands. Then we wrapped up the day with Science, completing an experiment involving a resistor and noting how it changed the brightness of the bulb. We were even able to create a variable resistor by sliding our wires closer together and further apart on the pencil lead, which changed how bright the bulb was. It worked like the dimmer switches that many of us have in our homes!
