FYI
Fun lunches: May 10th and 31st (Extreme Pita and Opa) Scientist in the classroom: May 12th (am) PD No School: May 19th Victoria Day- No School: May 22nd Volunteer Tea: May 26th Our big change this week was the announcement of our class participating in the Outdoor Classroom Day on May 18th! We will join thousands of students around the world as we learn and discover in an alternative classroom and use our ability to explore and play in nature. This has lead us into our first two outdoor missions over the past two days and has allowed us to get comfortable completing tasks without being surrounded by the walls of the classroom. Ask me about the missions we have been working on! In Phys. Ed we have continued to work on skipping skills in addition to enjoying scrimmages in soccer and basketball; not to mention a grade 3 vs 4 dodgeball game! We had a few challenges in math! One asked us to write down a three digit number, reverse it and subtract and then reverse the solution and add to prove that the final solution would be either 1089 or 198. We are also looking at addition and subtraction of decimal numbers. We have discussed the relationship between decimal numbers and fractions, talked about different ways to represent different operations and the ways in which a decimal solution works depending on our operation. We have started to solve a word problem that asks the students to use running distances (to the thousandths place) in miles in a multi-step problem. In addition to that, we also started a logic problem with wildebeests and lions that Ray shared via TED-Ed. In our social/culture projects, students have been identifying traditional recipes, ingredients and the process for cooking their chosen dishes. They will begin working on their timelines and before you know it- we will be enjoying some delicious foods! The assembly yesterday afternoon was amazing! The students loved having The Show Company dance and perform for us not to mention the incredible performances by Leaving Thomas and some by our very own students at P.o.W.! We enjoyed power hour today- students had an opportunity to share some of the things they learned/did in their option. It was pretty neat to see the handmade Harry Potter wand from Bridget this morning and the picture Jacob had taken with the Hamilton brothers! We had a great start to our week and we are looking forward to more adventures and learning tomorrow :)
