Today was a day, you didn't want to miss, as it was TWIN DAY, and a day chock a block full of brain busting fun!! We began our day with a spelling play down, in which students from our classes 7 teams were pitted against one another by testing their spelling recall from the words we have learned since September. When all the dust settled, we were left with four student...2 boys & 2 girls. A pair from Grade 5 and 2 more from Grade 4. Congratulations to Kyle, Maya, Emma and James for conquering the Spelling Play Down Challenge and earning their classmates admiration, and points for their teams. Once we put the wraps on spelling, we turned our attention to math, and I decided to test their abilities, by introducing order of operation equations. Despite it being Grade 6/7 level concepts, most caught on quickly, and we again played for team points, while putting their newfound skills to the test. After recess, the students had the choice to continue the coding assignments we began yesterday, to take a turn writing code for our Dash Robot, or taking on some math challenge games. Following hot lunch, it was time to put our dramatic side to the test, as we played a number of drama related games and activities, before clean up and final dismissal for Spring Break.
