May 1st, 2019 - Learning about Wedges

Agenda:

  • Read 20 minutes
  • Family Dance on Friday
  • Swimming starts next week

What we did today:

  • In science, we wrote our conclusions to yesterday's experiment and then we watched a video about our next experiment using wedges where we will get 2 blocks, one shaped like a wedge and one shaped like a rectangle. We will pull them through rice and measure the force required to get them through. We will compare which is easier to pull through the rice using a spring scale.
  • Today in Math we got into teams of 4 or 5 and we each got a bag of garbage from our yard cleanup last week. Using tongs and gloves, we had to sort the garbage into different categories - compost, recycling, one-use-snack-wrappers, refundable, or garbage. We used tally marks to keep track of how many wrappers we got from each company. When we were done, we cleaned up and will discuss our findings as a class next Math lesson.
  • Today in Daily 5, Groups 7 and 4 had Word Work; Groups 5 and 6 did Raz Kids; Groups 1 and had Teacher-Time; and Group 3 read to self.
  • Today in Computers we did Raz Kids.
  • Today in Music, we started learning how to write lyrics for our songs. We had to think of some thoughts that would inspire us like nature, wildlife, earth, people, and more. We watched 2 videos - one about an artist and another about a girl who would pick something up and sing about it.
  • Today in Language Arts we used green, yellow, pink, and blue highlighters to identify different parts of the event in a story. We read the paragraph about the Armadillo Tattletale and then highlighted the parts of the story that were action words, descriptions, dialogue, and the thoughts and feelings of the characters.
  • In gym we played frisbee Bocce Ball and because we were all good sports, Ms Brunsch (our MOST FAVOURITE SUB EVER) let us play 10 minutes of dodgeball too!
