What did we do today?

• This morning in math, we had five minutes to solve 60 mad minutes.  Some of us did adding and subtracting and others did multiplying.  Ms. Jones is going to compare these to the ones we did in September.
• In gym, most of the groups got to film their skipping routines.  We will be starting basketball next.
• Today in science, Ms. Jones talked to us about frequency, which is measured in Hertz.  We had to do some reading about frequency and pitch, and read a graph about the frequencies different animals can hear.  The dolphin can hear the lowest and the highest frequency.
• After science, Ms. Wilkens introduced us to more Unthinkables.  In our table groups, we decided on which 5 Unthinkables we should work more on.
• After lunch, we had a class meeting about the upcoming Evergreen Theater visit next week.  We decided on a question to focus on and shared interesting facts.
• In Daily Five, Ms. Jones took two groups of students to do guided reading while the rest of us chose to work on Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading and working on our spooky stories.
• At the end of the day, we finished working on our fossil observations in our paleontologist field guides.

Questions:
1. How many times will the singing bowl be used?  It is a lot in the afternoon!
2. What will our play be like with the Evergreen Theater?
3. What will some of the costumes be?
4. When will we start building our own instruments for science?
