What we did today:

Mr. O'Reilly was subbing for Ms. Cowdy today in computer lab. We had to work on either Raz-Kids or Mathletics.
In music, we shared about our favourite parts of music this year. Then we had the most INTENSE game of Freeze Dance ever! We dance to the music while it was playing, but then when he paused the music we had to turn into stone.....if we didn't we were out..... We also got gummies! :)
In gym, we played continuous dodgeball. If you were hit, you went to the other team's side and played for them.
We had our last day of science today. We compared our car with someone else's and looked at their strengths and weaknesses. After that, we decided which of the two cars had the better design and why. Ms. Jones wanted us to use strong scientific words such as durability and balance.

In social, we continued to learn about the Francophones in Alberta. We looked at a French website. Ms. Jones also read us a legend about the Flying Canoe. We also learned there is a festival based on that story. We also saw a news story about how there is a French section in Calgary.

In music, we submitted our songs on GarageBand to Mr. O'Reilly. Next year, we will be making a playlist with all the songs.
In art, we worked on our name kaleidoscope art. They needed to be symmetrical and coloured with our best colouring techniques. We could use both markers and pencil crayons.
During computer lab, we were assigned Mathletics, where we started statistics and probability.
In math, our geometrocity is coming along! Some districts are finished and many are close to being finished. We will be starting a new math unit tomorrow.

Agenda:

What we did today:

After having time to work on our cereal boxes, we played a fur trader game in the class, which took most of the day. After being split into either trade merchants or First Nations, we rolled dice to see which goods/ animal pelts we would be taking to the trading post. After trading twice with different groups, we added up our points to see which traders earned the most money/ prestige.
