What did we do today?

• At the start of the day, we had a special person visit for Alberta Tomorrow.  She showed us what Calgary looked like in 1884 and what it looks like now.  The population grew and more agriculture developed.  She showed us how to work the simulator.  We can set new goals for agriculture and water consumption and we can also see what they would look like if everyone used best practices.
• We had gym with Room 5 and we played kickball.
• After recess, Ms. Jones read Wonder.  We heard from Miranda's point of view, and know why she did not talk to Via over the summer.
• In music, we did Miss Mary Mac.  It is a game and clapping song where you have to do the exact same rhythm as the person you are with.  We also made stories and at the end we sang songs called My Bonny and Yankee Doodle.
• After lunch we had Daily 5.  Two more students did their science tests.  We worked on our timelines, guided reading tasks, geometricity and book reviews.  We also created our accounts for the Alberta Tomorrow simulator, which we will be trying out tomorrow.
• At the end of the day, we did math.  We worked on a show what you know activity about measurement.  If you finished early, you worked on the logic problems.
• Check out our fence art by the kiss and drop!

Questions:

1. What will Via say to Miranda at dinner?  Will they be friends again?
2. What will Alberta look like from different perspectives? 
3. Will anyone be able to achieve all of their goals in the simulator?
4. Will the economy be happy in the future? The animals?  Can we maintain a balance?
