Today has been a busy day! We started the day bright and early with a drumming session in Mr. Wiens' music room.
Then we moved into math where we reviewed place value and practiced building and ordering numbers from greatest to least and least to greatest based on chance. We found out that we are forgetting how place value and naming numbers works as the get into the thousands and so we will be reviewing and extending this skill on Monday.
After Math we went to gym where Ms. Laird and Ms. Locke had us working hard with fitness relays. Students did amazingly in the time they were given and never stopped giving 100%. It was really impressive to see.
After recess we watched a quick NASA video about weather and learned the difference between climate and weather. We started to scratch the surface of what air pressure is and how it affects changes in weather, as well as what tools weather forecasters use to predict weather.
After lunch we talked about today being the United Nations National day of Peace and discussed Peace in terms of the five senses. Some students were really pushing themselves to be creative in their descriptions of what peace is to their senses. We will finish this writing assignment on Monday.
Lastly, we did a community art activity based off the book The Spot. Each student was given a piece of paper and chose up to 4 pastels. We then rotated around the classroom adding one dot or circle to each student's piece of paper. The end result was a piece of art that was created by each member of our community! It was a lot of fun.
We hope you will join us tonight for the Meet the Teacher event with sessions starting at 6:30 and 7:30!
Please enjoy your long weekend!
