Agenda:

What we did today:

Because of the smoke, we stayed indoors. In art, we had time to finish our third picture for our Alberta timeline, which is a scene from the plains 5600 years ago to the mid-1800's.
After art, we had a "ketchup and pickles" time, where we had time to type up our stories, complete our math and to finish building our cars.
In science, we had to complete building our cars today as next class we will be testing them. We also had to finish our building log, which included steps to build and a diagram.

Agenda:

What we did today:

We started to build our cars today! We could use magnet power, push power and air power to power our prototype. We used materials collected from home. If we finished building, we then had to write up the procedure of how to make our vehicle, and draw a labeled diagram.
During computer lab, we worked on finishing our stories. Some people swapped their stories to share and edit.
In Daily 5, we were given time to practice our handwriting, type our stories, work on our cereal box book reports and make a cover for our short story.
In gym, we played another game of lacrosse, where we had to pass to our teammates before you could shoot at the pylon to score.

Agenda:

Read 20 minutes
Decide what type of car you are going to build for science and have your list of materials complete by Thursday May 30th.
Bring empty cereal box to school.
**Please collect materials for science and bring to school by Thursday May 30th.**
Book orders due Friday
Whole school picture form due June 5th

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.

What we did today:

Today in social studies, we visited the website www.blackfootcrossing.ca to listen to the numbers spoken in the Blackfoot language. We recorded the numbers one to ten before checking out other words and phrases.
In gym, we warmed up by passing to each other using lacrosse sticks. Then we got into groups and played Pig in the Middle, where we had to keep the ball away from the pigs by passing.
In computer lab, we did Raz-Kids.
Before library, Ms. Jones went over the cereal box book project. We will have to include a summary, ingredients (characters, setting) and game based on the book.
We had a Coffin Cares assembly, where we learned about how much garbage was collected and how we can reduce our waste output during recess and lunch.

Agenda:

Read 20 minutes
Find out what happens to the things you put in your compost bins. What are the chemical reactions that take place.

Treat day is tomorrow Tuesday May 28th, bring your quarters.

What we did today:

Today in music we worked on garage band.
In computer lab we finished choosing our design for our cars and writing our list of materials. When we were finished we did Mathletics.
Today in Art we did our third picture for our timeline from 5600 years ago until mid 1800's.
In math we played a shape game where you needed to guess a 3D shape based on your partners description and then we searched for real world 3D shapes around the school.
We continued working on our short stories.
We had our whole school photo this morning

October Today

Agenda:

What we did today:

Today in science we got our next project that we will be working on. Our project is to build a car that moves. After learning about all the terms that we need to know we moved into the planning phase. We used the computers to look for ideas. We need to collect materials from home that we can use to build our cars and we need to have them at school by next Thursday (May, 30th)
Today in Math we learned about cylinders, cones and spheres and used the words vertices, edges and faces to describe them
Today in gym we worked on our lacrosse skills.
We finished our word work for the week and we continued writing our stories in Daily 5.
In computer lab we had buddies and we did Starfall with them.
