"I solemnly swear I am up to no good." We took inspiration from Harry Potter this week and divided our class into "house teams". But instead of a magical sorcerer's sorting hat, we used a magical CHEESE hat. Because French people, cheese... you know, it's a whole thing. We put the cheese hat on our heads and let a spinner decide our fate for the rest of the year. (...with perhaps a bit of "tweaking" from Madame at the end to make things balanced). We have four teams, each represented by a different animal with Indigenous symbolization: - Les corbeaux, known for wisdom and creativity - Les castors, known for perseverance and teamwork - Les ours, known for courage, strength, and humility - Les grenouilles, known for wealth, being good at change/adapting, and being good communicators We began colouring some Indigenous art from the Salish, Haïda, and Haisla Nations to represent our animals. Madame said that she will make our art into wearable buttons so that we can display our team spirit! This week's Math lessons have been brought to you by... PATTERNS! We've been doing them with blocks, on paper, in nature, and on the drums. We also got officially assigned to a big buddy this week! (The last time we got together, it was just to be introduced to one another. Our teachers hadn't actually created partnerships between us yet). To get to know our official buddies better, we did a fun one-on-one discussion activity with a page that said ME on one side, and WE when flipped over. We wrote things we had in common with each other on the WE side and things where we differed on the ME side. We were all very pumped to spend time with the big guys and even got to spend some time playing on the playground with them again. Extra photos...
