Homework: practice multiplication facts, math mystery #17 due Thursday
**There is a typo on this week's math mystery.  The sentence should say there are 3 more rabbits than birds.  So sorry about the confusion!**

What did we do today?

• Today we went to the Glenbow Museum. We were in two groups, one group did an drawing activity of a circle, square and a triangle. We learned what a circle meant and how to read symbols. We looked at some symbols on a Siksika Shield, Woman's Leggings and a Tipi. The second group focused on choosing three artifacts and they made a title and story for the group of artifacts. Both groups went to 'Using Natural Resources' to find four or more artifacts that relate to natural resources. Afterwards, we returned to our parent groups and read the information about the natural resources. We looked at artifacts and guessed what industry they were from and what they were used for. We decided which two industries our community would practice. The industries we chose were: Farming and Ranching and Hydroelectric Power. 
• We ate lunch together at City Hall.
• At the cafe we shared what we learned about symbols and the stories that we made about the three artifacts.

Questions:
1. What are some of the new things that we learned?
2. What were some of the stories that the students made up in Ms. Jone's group?
3. What does the square represent?
4. Where will we go for our next field trip?
