Sacha's Journal Vacation Spot

One of our students is traveling for a few weeks so we are reserving this spot on our blog to read about her adventures! Have fun Sacha and we look forward to hearing about your trip!

Friday Report by Maddi L.

Today we learned about delayed gratification and listening in MindUP! We learned that if you have a choice about something that you want you and you can have it now or later, people who pick later are proven to be more successful.

We played a game called PIG in math. It's a risky game. You have to roll a dice and add the numbers. If you roll a one you stop and get zero. It's really fun.

In the afternoon we had time to look up information for our art project.

Another crazy, awesome, fun day in Division 1!

Danielle's Report!

Today was fun! We went to the library with Mr. Lussier. He has a great reading voice and I like that he shows us new books. I got to share New Moon with the class.
Today we practiced controlled breathing in MindUP because it makes you calm if you are mad, sad, or hyper. We are learning about how our brain works, about the Amygdala, the Prefrontal Cortex, and the Hippocampus. I need to pay attention more often to learn more about this.
We have a project for art due on February 12th. We have to choose an artist and write about her or him. I'm interested in doing this project because I like working on the computer. We also had silent reading at the end of the day. I like books but it is sometimes hard to stay quiet for that long.
