Summer to Fall Routines
Students and teachers have been busy these past 2 weeks, as everybody settles into new classes, new routines and a new school year!
Both BASES classrooms and The Learning Support BASES Centre have been a flurry of activity!
Some of the Highlights include:
*regular morning routines of lockers, checking schedules and turning in homework assignments
*continuation of Numeracy and Literacy assignments
NEW ADDITIONS to our program have been:
*Current Events/Affairs
Students discovered a theme emerging from our daily newspaper reading. They read about 4 NEW Guinness Book of World Record achievements
-Did you know that a 96 year old Ontario woman holds the record for the oldest living yoga teacher?
OR
-that Surrey's very own Port Mann Bridge's record breaking width is greater than that of Australia's Sydney Harbour Bridge!
AND
-that Cloverdale's Millennium Amphitheatre Park attempted to enter the Guinness Book of World Records by forming the world's largest human peace sign
We sure enjoy CURRENT AFFAIRS!
*Also, students have chosen some fun journal writing topics from our Journal Jar. We will be posting some great pieces of writing in the near future.
*We have gotten to know one another better during Social Circles
*We are so fortunate to have 5 peer tutors working in our classrooms throughout the day. We will feature them in our next Blog post.
UPCOMING EVENTS:
*Weekly Science experiments, beginning with BLOBS in a BOTTLE
*Roots of Empathy
*Postcrossing from around the World
We certainly are busy and our days seem to fly by!
Stay Connected with us as we continue to build a SOLID BASES!
