If you have any small (yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream) containers at home that you've been collecting and are wondering what to do with now - please send them to school. We will be conducting a weathering experiment on Monday and if we had some containers with lids it would be helpful to our end result!
Everyone made a set of bones today for the Blackfoot math game, Bones. Originally, the game would have been played with carved bones from the ribs of bison. We used craft sticks as our bison bones and drew the traditional Blackfoot markings on each stick to represent a number. The bones are tossed on the floor and the points counted and added together until one player reaches 50. It is great to introduce an Indigenous game that helps us develop our basic facts and strategies for adding.
We used the picture book 'Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar' by Emily MacKenzie as an introduction to characters this morning. We loved how Ralfy made a list of all the books he read, all the books he wanted to read and a list of books to recommend to his family and he gave them all carrot ratings!
