Happy Hallowe'en!

What did we do today?

• This morning in math, the grade 3s used arrays to become chocolate bar builders and the grade 4s had a guided practice of how to use partial products to multiply.
• In gym, we started our skipping routines.  We got into groups of 4-6 people and Ms. Jones gave us a task sheet to record our routines on.  We have to complete 10 tricks, 1 being a hoop trick.
• After recess, we had social studies.  We looked at four fossil pictures in our text books. Working as paleontologists, we determined where it was found, sketched a picture, and answered the question of "What clues does this fossil tell us about Alberta's past?"
• Mrs. Wilkens read us a book in health called The Big Bad Wolf Is Good.  We had to identify who was the rock brain in the story.
• After lunch, we had the Halloween Parade and we got to see many costumes!
• After the parade, we had art.  We took our cast fossils and we modge podged them onto our paleontologist field journals.
• At the end of the day, Mrs. Wilkens opened a package she received in the mail.  Inside it had a Tibetan Singing Bowl.  Some people got to try it.  It is a gift to us to help us manage our noise pollution and to refocus us on our learning.

Questions:
1. How well will the singing bowl work?
