What did we do today?
  • In math, we learned about using an organized list as a strategy to solve word problems and we tried solving a couple on our own.
  • At the beginning of gym we played a game called Roll the Dice where somebody rolled two foam dice.  If the numbers multiplied were 1-9 we ran, if it was 10-24 we jogged and if it was 25-36 we walked.  We also played Cat and Mouse where we were had to travel as a cat (in red) or a mouse (in blue) as a pair or group.
  • In science we learned how to measure sound.  Ms. Cowdy and Ms. Jones showed us an app that measured how loud we can be.  We also watched a Bill Nye video on sound waves and how sound travels.
  • During Daily Five we practiced reading with someone. We tried practicing our stamina for ten minutes.  
  • This afternoon we had language arts and we continued to work on the COPS method. This time we also had to find words in our writing we used often.  We circled them and changed them to improve our journal writing.  Then we re-wrote a good copy to fix all of our mistakes.
  • We wrote rhythms using five notes on whiteboards in music class.  We had to use four of the five notes. We also got to use instruments after Ms. Stephure took a picture of our us and our work.
Questions:
  1. How far can our combined laps cover compared to how much Terry Fox ran in one day?
  2. We have an author visit tomorrow! What will he talk about and what books does he write?
