Question of the night: Do you have any questions for our field trip tomorrow?
We started the day off with a bang...or was it a snap? We continued to work on our mousetrap cars. Some of us our fine tuning our designs, others are testing, and everyone else is somewhere in between. This is frustrating work...no wonder cars take so long to design and build! After that, we started watching a National Film Board film called "DryLanders". It takes place in saskatchewan, but essentially tells the story of the many people that settled the west. It is a long film, and we are only about 20 minutes into it. We used it as inspiration for our trip to the OH Ranch tomorrow. I will send an email home as a reminder. In the afternoon, we started our last week of Book Club. After that, we were able to have a quick look at the World War I museum kit, where we were able to explore some amazing artifacts. Have a great night! ____________________________________________________ Important Dates:
Question of the night: Have a great weekend. Do you have any big plans?
May the 4th be with you! Wow, what a day! We started the day with some PE, then read some Fish in a Tree. We had a great walk to the ridge with our kindergarten buddies. We worked together with them to clean-up our community. It's amazing how much garbage we collected - we were so focused! When we returned, we met up with Mr. Kenzie, and he filmed some of our work on mousetrap cars. Some of us began testing, which only led to some more design problems. We'll continue on MOnday. Have a great weekend. ____________________________________________________ Important Dates:
Question of the night: What did you do during power hour?
Hello! Mrs. K was again in for Mr. V today, as he was in meetings all day... We had our last writing club session this morning. Remember, you can continue to write your expository writing piece online. And, if it's shared with Mr. V, he will give you feedback on your work. We worked some more on patterns today. Since we're pretty much experts on increasing and decreasing patterns, we're going to start looking at pattern rules next week. All of this is gearing us up to work with t-tables and problems involving patterns. In the afternoon, we had PoWer hour, then had our last session of book club for the week. We have only one week left in our books! Please don't forget to return your OH Ranch field trip form. We are going next tuesday. Also, another notice was sent home about media consent. If you have any questions, please contact me. Please don't forget that we are walking with our buddies to the ridge tomorrow. Dress appropriately! We spent some time outside at the end of the day. We'll be doing that more and more as the weather turns warmer. Have a nice night. ____________________________________________________ Important Dates:
Question of the night: What are you working on in your writing groups?
Hello! We had a great day today. We started by working in our writing clubs. This is the last week for them, and then we switch. After writing groups, we had a desk change, then watched a bit of Mathnet...the case of the parking meter massacre. After recess, we had a few presentations from students. We first heard from JM about his trips to Hungary and Toronto. We then heard from AB's trip to Las Vegas. Super informative. After lunch, we had a book club session, then continued our work on mouse trap cars. We've mostly built the shells of the cars, but we have no engine. That's tomorrow's job...the engine, or mousetrap! We spent some time outside at the end of the day. We'll be doing that more and more as the weather turns warmer. Have a nice night. ____________________________________________________ Important Dates:
