The Top Three Things We Learned and Did Today:

Today during buddies, it was the 100th day of school, so they had created projects. Some of the projects included crayons, Lego, marshmallows, stickers and googly eyes.
In music, we had some sharing and after that Mr. O'Reilly went over the rules and etiquette of attending an orchestra. We also coloured a number of instruments from the four families of instruments. Tomorrow Mrs. Polski will lead us as we cut them out and trade so that we have an instrument from each family.
At the end of the day in science, we learned studied rocks like geologists! Using properties and a rock sample, we had to test the rocks for colour, lustre, hardness and what it would do in vinegar. We identified granite and there is a mystery one that we need to look up.

The Top Three Things We Learned and Did Today:

In math, group A had to complete multiplication tasks that helped them practice their basic facts. Group B and C were introduced to the lattice method of multiplication and practiced a few problems with two digit and one digit numbers. If we were finished, we had to create our mogul ski using the correct measurement of 175cm.
In gym, the climber was set up. We now have seven centers to complete in our gymnastic unit. We will be doing this all week so we need to remember to wear loose clothes to move around in.
At the end of the day in art, we went on a website called Art Hub for Kids. It is a drawing website. As a class, we first tried drawing a pug using the video's instructions. Afterward we were allowed to draw a picture of our choice. We tried drawing dolphins, emojis, Star Wars characters and cats.

What We Learned and Did Today for Fresh Air Friday:

In science, we made a wall with two heights and put boards on them to create a gentle slope and a steeper slope. We developed the question, "Which slope will have more soil erosion?" Ms. Jones put soil on the slope and when Ms. Smith put water down the slopes, we saw that the steeper one did. Our conclusion was that the steeper slope had more erosion due to the angle of the slope and that the water went down it faster due to gravity.

Agenda:

Word work homework- have sentences and transfer words done for Friday (sentences only for Ms. Jones's group)

The Top Three Things We Learned and Did Today:

In math, we did the ice hockey challenge as a double class. Against a partner, we answered addition, subtraction and multiplication questions. We were then awarded "medals" if we got a certain number correct.
In Daily 5, we had some catch up time to finish our visualizer and connector activities to our fantasy novels. If we finished early we got to go on Raz Kids.
This afternoon, the Destination Conservation group had a presentation from a special visitor about how our practice of using plastics is effecting our environment, especially in the oceans. Those who stayed in class learned a new math game called Clip the Multiples, where we got cards with numbers on them. We had to decide whether they were multiples of a given number and mark them.

In music, we talked about music theory. In a group of two or three, we had to make a web of what we thought music theory is. Some of our ideas were: tempo, its what we know about music, and beat.
After gym, we created our pet rocks. Things we added to make our rocks "rockin" were top hats, googly eyes, hair, moustaches and tails.
We had one last day of yoga today. We pretended we went to a pet store after our sun salutations and we did different animal poses.

The Top Three Things We Learned and Did Today:

Today we had our first day of Math Olympics. We got pinnies and Olympic bibs with our competition number. Then we were sent to our first events. These included ice hockey, figure skating, luge, curling, freestyle skiing (moguls), skeleton and biathalon.
There was a Coffin Cares assembly. Two people in our class were recognized by showing respect to others.
This morning, we chose a country to represent at the Math Olympics. We then researched their flag, counted their athletes, their medals, what events they will be participating in and five facts about them.

What do we have to do next?

We need to properly read the instructions at each event so that we understand what to do so that we can earn medals.
