What did we do today?

• In the afternoon, we had a performance assembly where we did our hoop dancing moves that we have learned from Teddy Anderson this past week.  At the end, Teddy did a dance with 30 hoops!
• In math we played some games to practice our multiplication.  After recess, Ms. Jones showed us how to make a story problem for a multiplication problem.  In groups, we made our own problems, which Ms. Jones read to the class to solve.  We made sure we added special words such as each, altogether and total.
• In science, we worked on our instrument experiment.  We started our observations of our instrument to change something that would change the pitch.  It might have been changed by a thick or thin elastic, a long or short straw or if we loosened a string.  We also drew a diagram of our instrument with labels.
• Ms. Jones showed us a video of a person drumming on ice with a rock.  If you hit clear ice, it can make a higher pitch compared to hitting opaque ice, which has air and water in it.
• In computer lab, we had ninja math.  We worked towards earning our black bead, which would earn us a ninja pencil.
