Our day got off to a surprising start, with an unexpected school evacuation, following an unexpected fire alarm shortly after 9am this morning. No incident, but because it wasn't planned, students and teachers alike spent the first half of the 9 o'clock hour outdoors, during the heaviest snowfall of the day. Once we got the all clear from Langley's finest, we headed back indoors to the warm, comfy confines of JKE just in time for Music Class. After recess, we finally had a chance to build our Bottle Lungs model, putting a cap (pardon the pun), on our Human Body Science unit, ahead of Thursday's Human Body Quiz. (If you would like to try building the model at home, you can see the instructions video on the Science Page.) After lunch, the students sat down for some quality reading time, and I was lucky enough to read along with both Maya & Raiden. We originally planned to meet up with our Little Buddies, but the morning interruption, threw our plans off, but we will resume Little Buddies next Monday. Our afternoon included more work on our planning, and brainstorming skills as we created a class-generated a Word Web on attributes we value in friends. We then elaborated on those qualities, and tied them into our Art Assignment (see images below). It was an unpredictable, but engaging day in Division 10.
