What did we do today?

• Today in math, we were put into three groups based on our subtraction question scores yesterday.  One group worked with Ms. Jones, one group completed a subtraction mystery and went onto the NLVM website and the third group did a subtraction mystery and played the card game countdown.
• In gym, we completed the last center that we didn't do.  Then Ms. Jones explained a game where if your number was called, you had to dribble to the net and try to score points.  The rest of your group would pass the ball.
• In science, we chose an instrument, copied down the materials and how to make our instrument (procedure).  If we finished early, we drew a labeled diagram of the instrument and made a hypothesis about how we are going to change the pitch.
• In health, we reviewed the strategies of how to change from a Destroyer of Fun.  Then we played a game called Whoosh, bang, pow.  This game had us passing energy in a circle.  You made a whoosh motion and sound.  If someone said pow, the energy had to change direction.
• In language arts, we worked on spooky stories, our self portraits or a work on writing activity.
• In music, we had to list some dynamics.  After that, we played a game called Four square dynamics.  You have to find a dot and wait for the corner to be called.  If you are in that corner, you are out.
• At the end of the day we finished with Daily 5.

Questions:
1. Is the Night Watchman an alien or a human?
2. Which Unthinkable will we discuss next?
