What did we do today?

• At the start of the day, we worked on our estimation skills by estimating on given word problems.  If we finished, we got to go on Mathletics.  We had math before and after gym, as well as for 20 minutes after recess.
• In gym, we played two games.  First we played a mini game of volleyball.  Then we played a game called bump ball, where we were only allowed to bump the ball after it was served over.
• In music, we kept practicing our ukelele songs.  Then we got into groups and we practiced a new way to strum the strings.
• During Daily 5, we had an extension of time, because we did not get much time yesterday.  We had time to finish our art, and to work on our weekly activities.  We have to have six done by next week.
• At the end of the day in social, we had to answer two questions about non-renewable and renewable resources.  We learned about different energy sources that do not use fossil fuels.  One Hudderite colony in Viking uses methane gas from pigs...talk about piggy power!

Questions:
1. What other energy sources do people use in Alberta?
2. Which natural cleaning product was used the most in class when we were creating our cleaners?
