Homework: practice multiplication facts, math mystery #17 due Thursday
Field trip tomorrow, please bring waste-less lunch, nothing to heat up please!

What did we do today?

• This morning in math, we continued mastering our ninja skills by practicing our multiplication facts and earning our belts/ beads. We also got a new math mystery to solve by Thursday.  We will get marks for CUBES, solving the question, showing our work and writing the answer in a sentence.
• In gym, it was the first day of Jungle Safari. We had to do this silently!  Some of the tasks were crawling under or over various objects, balancing a ball on a racquet while walking on a bench, walking only on the green lines, not getting touched by the skipping ropes on a crash mat and going across bars with the ropes to support you.
• After gym, we went to visit our little buddies and to see their 100th day projects.  Some had 100 stickers, 100 pom poms, 100 Lego pieces, 100 Shreddies, 100 beads.
• During science time, we started to talk abou how we are going to demonstrate our learning for our learning celebration in April.  Then we had time to work on our title pages.
• In health, we reviewed what Brain Eater is and the strategies we can use to defeat it.  We assigned a tipi group member to keep track of our Brain Eater moments.
• After lunch, we worked on our Daily 5 activities and we got a new chart to keep track of our progress.
• At the end of the day in social studies, we talked more about the different ways the Blackfoot hunted the buffalo.  We watched two videos about Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump.  We started to journal about the sneak game we played Friday, as well as the ways they hunted.

Questions:
1. Which technique did they use first to hunt the buffalo: the jump or the corral/ pound?
2. What will we learn tomorrow during our field trip?
