What did we do today?

• In science, we learned that we will be making instruments.  We tested the pitch and frequency of elastics to tune a box string instrument.  If the elastic is longer, it would have a lower pitch and slower frequency.  If it is shorter it had a higher pitch and a faster frequency.
• In math, the grade 3's learned about the array strategy to multiply.  The grade 4's also worked with arrays with numbers into the tens and hundreds.  They had to draw the arrays to figure out given problems.
• In computer lab, Ms. Cowdy introduced us to Multiplication Ninja.  She told us about the different belt colours we can earn for our brag tags.
• In gym, Ms. Jones changed the SPARK game.  There were six dots in different spots on the floor.  Each colour was a letter.  Once we got a shot in from one dot we would move to another.  We also played SHARK instead of Dribble Keep Away to practice their dribbling.
• In Daily 5, we had a "Ketchup and Pickles" time, where we had time to finish tasks we were not done.  If we finished our writing, art and math we could pick a "pickle" activity.
