This morning we talked about things that are positive and make us happy.  Each students practiced their French oral language skills and gave at least one thing that made them happy.  Next in their journals, students made a list of things that make them feel good and/or happy.  It was also our second day of using our writing checklist.  Answers varied from Pokemon cards make me feel good, my  cat, watching a moving with my Dad, listening to my playlist, reading Dogman and my personal favourite-sleeping. Check out some journal entries below.
In math, I showed students a scale with two numbers on either side and they needed to balance the scare.  One side had 15 and the other side had 7 + ?.  This more open ended question proved a bit tricky for some to get their mind around.  We'll continue this work again tomorrow. 
In the afternoon, we read and looked a pictures about Meteghan and it's history.  We talked about the Acadians and the conflict between the English and the French.  We also talked about some one the natural resources of the area, including fishing and forestry.  Students also enjoy the Canadian Climber with M. Trevor. Don't forget tomorrow is PJ day if students would like to participate.  They can also bring ONE stuffie.
