- After we played a game called Dinosaur Prowl. There were a T-rex, velociraptors and a venom spitting dinosaur called the dilophosaurus. They would tag other dinosaurs in the park. If we were tagged we had to wait for the triceratops to save us.

What we did today:
- In social studies, we had a class discussion about what to do if we found a dinosaur bone. We learned how there is a law against digging and keeping fossils in protected areas. You can be fined or be jailed for a year! We then wrote our opinion of whether we thought we should be able to keep it or leave it for all Albertans.
- In gym, we had our last day of jungle safari. Ms. Jones eased her restrictions for the traverse wall so there wasn't such a big line. On the balance beams, we had to do a 5 and 30 second balance pose. She changed the climber route so that we could only use your arms to cross the first bay. We also had to jump into the snake pit.
- During Daily 5, we had to work on finishing our identification of story beginnings, complete our word work, and work on our guided reading tasks.
- Today in math, we played division and multiplication games to practice our skills. We will be having a quiz next week!
- We had more time to work on our Royal Tyrrell Museum project instead of Ninja Math.

- In language arts, we discussed great story beginnings. As a class we changed a boring sentence into one that is more exciting using sound effects, something weird, a question, action and description. Then we got into partners and changed a boring sentence about a visit to the zoo, which we will share tomorrow.
- In music, we continued to work on our cover song project.
- Today in gym, we tackled more challenges during our jungle safari course. We had to climb under ladders, use certain holds on the traverse wall and go under hoops keeping our feet and hands on the green vine.

Agenda:

What we did today:
- Today in gym, we did jungle safari. We were able to sign on the wall once we completed it once. Hoops were added and Ms. Jones is adding a new challenge each round to make the course more challenging, such as using only the red and yellow grips on the traverse wall.
- In social, we were given time to start our Google Slides project on an animal found in the Royal Tyrrell Museum. We need to research facts and pictures about the animal, as well as the museum itself. Ms. Jones also showed us a music video about paleontology. https://vimeo.com/5377182
- During computer lab, we did Raz-Kids.
- We had a short art class to continue our pictures of the Paleozoic era. She put up pictures of what animals would have looked like 600- 250 million years ago.
- In math, we practiced our division skills through questions, an equation search and games.
Agenda:
- Read 20 minutes
- If you want to, you may select an animal for the Social Studies project we discussed this week. The list of animals is below, but you can also pick a different animal from the Royal Tyrell Museum website if you prefer. You do NOT have to start working on the project. We will have lots more dedicated class time over the next couple weeks.
What we did today:
- In art, we were shown the website http://dinosaurpictures.org/ancient-earth#0 where we can see how the world looked long ago. We started to sketch pictures of what Alberta would have looked like during the Paleozoic Era.
- In language arts, we searched books for their story starters and identify what kind of beginning it is. Examples of good beginnings are a question/ thought, onomatopoeia, using something weird and description.
- Today in music we continued our ukelele cover project, where we will be playing a song by learning its notes.
- In math, the grade 4's continued to develop their long division skills by practicing some questions while the grade 3's played a division game and started some questions from the textbook.
- In gym, we started jungle safari! We got today to learn the route, as we will start it for real tomorrow.
