Mr. Pressey

This week Mr. Pressey started rewarding us for all of the amazing things we do. We get a marble each time we help each other, show respect, don't give up and when we are role models. If we get up to 25 marbles we get some bonus activity. During Science, we continued to do some nature walks to learn about plants. For one of our walks we collected leaves. Then we put them under some paper and did a rubbing with crayons. After that we measured them for math using rulers. For Friday art this week we drew Anger from Inside Out. We drew Anger because it connected to all of our conversations about  Zones of Regulation . We did it after we read the book the Grumpy Monkey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD6GJkgbp1k We started doing our daily writing where we write for 15 minutes about different topics. One of the topics we did was a news retell. We watch a news story about how an island is sinking because of climate change. These islands are in danger because some of them are only 2

Today for art we did a creative drawing of a pugacorn. To do our drawings we create our pugicorn we watch a video and followed the steps. Then we coloured our pictures and were creative with our backgrounds. Finally we did an art walk and responded to each others art. Another thing we did this week was we had gym and learned a few new games. We learned how to play islandball, beanbag thief, tikiball, 4 corners and pizza party. Also in class Mr. Pressey taught us how to play wink murder and heads up seven up. For reading and writing we learned about brain pockets. We discovered that we can make 3 kinds of connections. We can make imagination connections, fact connections and memory connections. Mr. Pressey taught us how to get onto Prodigy. It is a math game where we battle monsters with math. If you answer the math question right you get to cast a spell on the monster. https://www.prodigygame.com/ Early this week, evil/ sometimes nice, Mr. Pressey had us do a spelling tes
