On Monday morning our class took part in Bricks 4 Kidz in the gymnasium. Students teamed up with a friend and were given a Lego kit and an iPad to help navigate their step by step instructions. Each partner group made a moving, battery operated dragster race car using Lego! It was awesome to see the students working together, solving problems, and overcoming challenges to create something they were proud of. After completed their cars, students were bubbling with excitement to race other cars and we ended by having a friendly race with all of our cars. It was a great experience.

On Wednesday we had our last visit from our CREATE artist, Mr. D. We continued to work on our dream catchers. Weaving the dream catcher is quite a challenging task but our class was definitely up for the challenge! I enjoyed watching the students encourage and help each other complete each step. This was a very authentic project that I'm sure the students will remember for years to come.

Congratulations Chloe and Gairien!
Chloe and Gairiden were the virtue winners for respect and received their certificates at Tuesday's Achievers Assembly. These two are consistently respectful to others within the classroom and on the playground. Great job!

Student Reflection & Goal Setting
As we set aside our work from Term 1, our class reflected on their performance in order to set new goals for term 2. Students were preparing to lead their conference by reflecting on their organizational skills, work habits, study behaviors, their favorite classes and their most challenging classes. They also chose several pieces of work they are most proud of to share with you at Friday's conference. Completed work from Term 1, aside from the units we are still currently working on, will be sent home at conferences.
Birthday Shout Out to Fatima Z!
