Busy Little Bees!

Never a dull moment in the BASES room!  Here are a few of the things that have gone on in our room in the 10 days following Halloween:

• After a WONDERFUL group effort in the Halloween door decorating contest, cleanup was in order
• Student council delivered some bags of treats for a door decorating job well done (despite not winning the class pizza party)
• A group of students went shopping for our first group luncheon and applied their money skills in a real world setting
• Students participated in cooking Hawaiian Casserole (both meat and vegetarian versions).  A DELICIOUS meal was enjoyed by ALL the BASES students, Peer Tutors, SEAs, Teaching Staff and Administrators!  YUM!!
• We have completed our measurement and money units.  We are now beginning a unit on computation, focusing on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
• We are continuing of plant unit by measuring our bean plants.  October bar graphs have many bean plants measuring as taller than 20 cm!
• We have been writing a series of character analysis for 'Saved by the Bell'
• Each student has chosen their first novel to complete a novel study project
• As shown in the previous post, students were learning about remembrance day, leading up to the writing of postcards to soldiers.
