Highlights
(My
apologies that the blog is being posted on Saturday instead of Friday.)
This
week we learned about making jot notes for our Arctic animal research
presentations in Social Studies. Once we
have collected our information, each student will make a Google Slides
presentation of their findings. We have
started to experiment with some of the features of Google Slides like adding
pictures, or changing the size and colour of text.
On
Wednesday we have a mobile escape room coming as part of an in-school field
trip. Our class will have a turn from
11:55 am-1:25 pm. Since this runs over
the lunch hour, students will eat in the classroom earlier that day so we are
able to participate.
In
Science, we put 100 mL of water into 3 containers. We covered one container and left the other 2
open to observe what will happen over the coming weeks. These were some of our predictions: “The
water will get old and dirty.” “The
water will get bubbles in it.” “The
water will get hot.”
In
Math we are starting to work on subtraction strategies. If students know their addition facts, this
makes subtraction much easier. (e.g.,
3+7=10, so 10-7=3)
Notices
about movie night were also sent home this week.

Ask
me about:
Who was the champion of the liquids
race? (Water) Who barely moved?
(Molasses)
What does the saying, “slow as molasses
mean?”
Which Arctic animal did you choose to
learn about on Friday?
