The First Day of School

We had an amazingly busy first day of school! With an assembly, meetings, éducation physique, and music, it was really a jam-packed day! We spent most of the time together working on team building activities. All in all, it was a fast (and very hot) Friday. Looking forward to Monday! - M. Sorokowski

Students were given sticky notes to respond to a variety of prompts to get some ideas flowing about Grade 5 

The questions included, "What should students in 5-21 do to make sure class runs smoothly? What kind of teacher do you want? What do you need to be successful this year? Our class should be ___ every day. What are you most excited to learn in Grade 5?"  

We finished the day with a spaghetti and marshmallow tower challenge! Table groups had 30 minutes to design and build the tallest tower made exclusively of spaghetti, marshmallows, and masking tape! Here's the winning tower. It was great to see everyone problem solve to build the best structures.
