What did we do today?

• In social studies, we learned about agriculture, which includes cattle farming and crops.  We watched a video about farming, where we learned how they process wheat.  They take it to the grain elevator and test their quality.  Trains take it to other places.
• In gym we did the four centers in basketball again.  Two groups did a game called SPARK were they shot at the net.  If we spelled SPARK we moved to another pylon to shoot from.  Ms. Jones gave us more time to finish the games.
• We played a memory game in music today.  Mr. O'Reilly had cards with different notes. We had to write them on our whiteboards and show him to see if it was right.
• In journals, we worked on our winter break journals.  Ms. Jones was hoping we would have our first two paragraphs done with details.
• In math, we started to learn about arrays.  The grade 4's used arrays to solve questions such as 23 x4.  They also played the array game, which is like battleship.  The grade 3's continued to practice equal groups and worked with bigger numbers.
• Check out our IRIS pages for our new goals and strategies.
