The first period we did was silent reading from 9:00 to 9:30 am. After that we read the, “Is your junk detector turned on?” From the pieces of paper we read. We learned that, everything from the internet is not always true. Example- “Did you know that aliens caused global warming ?” We know for sure that that is not true , what so ever. To know it’s the truth you could be creative we can learn from writers, animators or even movie producers. If you were done all that you could finish the sheet on,evaluating information online. We took two sites from the idea hive site , and wrote why you think the facts are all fake or real.
After break we through a ball and we had to name some symbols and values off the top of your head, you cannot look at a paper or anything. You have to pick something like hockey, freedom or speech, or even freedom. We had to make a chart on symbols , and values in Canada. Example- Symbols would be something like a beaver, because you can touch and feel it, and for values you would have because you can see it , and imagine it. Right after that we got a map and we labeled some continents, so an example would be North America, or even Canada. So we labeled , and coloured the whole thing even the oceans.
After lunch we have to come back around 12:30 , and the buzzed actually rings at 12:45. Anyways , we went to gym, we changed into our gym clothes , and set up the volley ball net. Before we did volleyball we had to do 22 stretches, the only reason we did so much , is because we have 22 students and every student picks a stretch to do. After we were all stretched we passed the ball back a fourth doing sets , and then bumps. Before we had to change , we did I think 5 minutes of serving back and forth. After all that we changed into our clothes, we came to the classroom , we were supposed to do french , but instead we did mind maps.
Well it’s almost the end of the day this is the last period of the day. We are still were doing mind maps till 3:30 pm. A mind map I kinda like a web but you have a whole bunch of pictures with it! , instead of just with lines , and words like a web. It’s just about the same thing but with pictures of the words that are coming out of your groups that you picked.

Hi Kelsey and Shelby,
What a terrific mind map you have created! I really like the “let go, “big” and “choices” groups. Do you have groups you feel are more important than others?
I think that using examples helped all of us reading your scribe understand more clearly what you learned in your classroom. I hope it’s ok if I ask one question? You mentioned in social studies you labeled a map with continents and you listed North America and Canada as examples. Did you mean that Canada was a continent?
Looking forward to your next post so I can keep on learning,
Lani
