Thursday, January 16th, 2014: Northern Lights & Arctic Games

Thursdays are quickly becoming on of my favorite days of the week in 2014!

Highlights of the Day:

  • Mrs. Waffenschmidt was found atop a famous mountain on the European continent.  She was eating chocolate, yodeling and enjoying the alpine horn while admiring the snow capped peak shaped like a horn.  Check out this site for more information on her current location.  I wonder where she will be next week?  http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/369684/Matterhorn
  • In math students worked in groups to complete their math assignment corrections and move on to new work.
  • (AWESOME) Arctic Games:  Students participated in agility games today.  Ask them to show you a One Foot High Kick, Two Foot High Kick, and the Alaskan High Kick.  Next week we will practice some strength games!
  • We read Northern Lights Soccer Trails, written by northern author Michael Arvaarluk Kusugak and watched a brilliant video of the northern lights (playing soccer) in the sky. 
  • In Social Studies we learned more about the Inuit peoples of Canada and about their important traditional law of taking care of each other.  We compared this Inuit value to the memory verse this week.  Next, we explored the language Inuktitut.  (Next Thursday we will learn to write our own names in Inuktitut and explore the different shelters used by Inuit peoples.) 

ᑕᕝᕙᐅᔪᓯ (Tavvaujusi) – Good bye to many people!
