Good afternoon!
Here is a quick recap of things we did yesterday and today in class as shared by students in room 18:
- We will be starting weather watch in science next week. Today, we watched Dangerous Tornadoes and learned some interesting facts about tornadoes. Did you know:
- Usually tornadoes last about 2 minutes, but we learned that more extreme tornadoes are now lasting 10 minutes or longer.
- We learned that multiple wind currents with high speeds traveling in different directions meet to start forming a hook echo. This is the beginning of a tornado.
- Tornadoes usually work better on flat land, if it's on hillier land, it has trouble gaining speed and forming properly.
- Students noticed the sky changes colour (sometimes green)
- Hurricanes (like Irma) can be predicted and take longer to form, tornadoes form within minutes and people get on average 13 minutes of warning before it touches down
- ASK ME MORE!!!!
- We finished filming our kindness video!!! Mr. Sadowsky and Ms. Laird will be editing it over the following days and hope to have it finished by meet the teacher night
- We were still working on writing our pillars of care today, if students did not finish today, it will be sent home for homework on Monday.
- Some students started their good copy of their comic strip and some are close to being finished their good copy
- Library exchange will begin on Tuesday
