Dear spectacular parents,
This week we:
* Are having gym this afternoon.
We don't know what we will be doing yet...
* In outdoor ed. on Wednesday we learned about scat. We learned about deer, bear, cougar and wolf scat. We saw that different kind of animals have different kinds of scat. On Friday, we had a substitute teacher named Mr. Dhillon. We got to play on the back playground for the whole time!
* This week we have brain bins and our carpet back!!!! At brain bin time we can choose a brain bin or a quiet desk activity.
* In science we did observations of pennies after we put vinegar on them. After one day, the pennies started turning bluish-greenish. When we poured the vinegar some of the pennies got shiny. Some of the pennies turned green, some clean, some got dirty and some turned gold. Some of the pennies, the coating started to come off.
* On Thursday we did GoNoodle. We did: Run the Red Carpet, Raise the Roof, Little Green Froggy, Cat Party and then to calm down we did Light as a Feather.
* In Social Studies we learned a lot of things about Inuit people living in Nunavut. We learned some games they play. One game is the high-kick. They jump with two feet (7 feet high!) and kick a seal stuffie. Another game they play is the blanket toss. They play because they use this to try to spot whales. Food is very expensive in Nunavut. 10 pouches of Kool-aid is $36.00!!! One lemon was $10.00!!!
* In math this week we started working on "Expanded form" for addition. We did whiteboards and teacher table. It looks like this:
34
+23
50
+7
57
* In math we learned the game "Ten More Than".
* At lunch time we are reading The Wild Robot Escapes. Before we read this one, we read The Wild Robot. In The Wild Robot Escapes, Roz the Wild Robot is trying to escape from Hilltop Farm.

ReplyDeleteIt must be nice to have both the carpet and brain bins back in class.
I look forward to reading about this coming week.
