We have 15 marbles for our Mystery Motivator. We got marbles because we were good listeners today. - Sydney
We need to get 20 marbles, and then we get a surprise! - Lexi
Our group wrote down a lot of number sentences in 10 minutes. - Ava
Mr. H. explained 4 to the power of 4 to us because one of the students had that in their number sentence. Almost no one understood what that meant, so that's why he explained it. - Robyn
We read to ourselves for 15 minutes. We were really quiet! - Braylin

We had a great end to our day today, as we were outside in the afternoon for RAD (Recess Activity Day). We do this at Radisson a few times a year, to refamiliarize students with the equipment/games available to them for recess games in fall, winter, and spring. Also, we work on the ideals of Fair Play, which include respecting the rules, respecting the officials and their decisions, respecting your opponents, making sure everyone gets a chance to play, being an active participant, and maintaining your self-control. It was wonderful to see the fun the students were having, while being able to spend a breezy, sunny September afternoon outside, and getting a good workout. The perfect end to a busy week...
