What did we do today?

• At the start of the day, we worked on our division brain stretches.  Then we worked on an activity where we had to estimate to solve about how much a given operation should be.  After gym, we got to try out the estimation soccer game Ms. Jones showed us last week.
• For gym, we practiced settting and bumping by doing ten of each against the wall.  We also played a game called fish in the sea, where we had to serve over the net.  If your ball didn't go over, you would sit on the other side and try to catch a ball.  Lastly, we played a mini game of volleyball.
• After recess we had buddies.  We helped them get onto Photobooth and take pictures. Then we helped them save the pictures onto our buddies' Network Drive.
• In social studies, we finished a point of view activity on whether fossils should be protected or should they be collected and sold for money.
• A special visitor from Green Calgary came today and she talked to us about how some cleaning products we find at the grocery store can be dangerous to our health and the environment.  She gave us ingredients that we could mix together to clean a number of items.  These included a toothpaste splattered mirror, a dirty piece of hardwood, a piece of carpet with a coffee stain and a dirty cookie pan.  Some ingredients we used were: vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, baking soda, castile soap, hot water, cold water and borax.
• At the end of the day in Daily 5 we worked on our activities.  We also cleaned out our book boxes and had library.

Questions:
1. How many people will make a different cleaning spray at home?  Will their parents use them?
2. Did you know that Windex tested itself for being environmentally friendly?
