What we did today:

• Today in social studies, watched two videos.  One was about the fur trade, which was started for the Europeans want for beaver pelts to make waterproof hats.  The other video that we started to watch was about the life of a voyageur, who paddled their way inland towards Alberta.
• In gym, we played a lacrosse like game where we were numbered into four teams.  We had to pass to each team member before trying to shoot at a pylon for points.
• In music, we did Garage Band.  We also recorded our live instruments.  Mr. O'Reilly gave us a tutorial on how we can make our songs sound better by listening to the chords.
• In math, we learned about shape skeletons and nets.  The grade 4's learned about nets and how to fold them into 3D objects. The grade 3's made skeletons out of toothpicks and plasticine to determine the shapes edges and vertices.
