Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Math: We started our new measurement unit! Today we used a powerpoint to describe the difference between centimeters, meters and kilometers! We learned how many millimeters go into a centimeter, how many centimeters go into a meter and finally how many meters go into a kilometer. We compared objects and discussed what unit of measurement would be appropriate to use to measure them. We learned the difference between length, width and height.

Reading Buddies

Language: We presented our wonders and research.

Lunch/Recess

Gym: Please see Mr. B's blog for more information.
UOI: We learned about  magnetism! We learned how magnetic have a north and south pole. The opposite poles attract and the same poles repel. We watched a video to help us understand the theory of magnetism. We did a magnetic scavenger hunt in the classroom to find what objects attract and what objects repel.

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Math: We did our quiz today. Once everyone has completed the test I will hand them back.
Music: Please see Mr. Oliver's blog for more information. 
Language: We finished off our math quiz then did easter shape poems! We talked about the differences between how we write sentences in a poem vs a story. Poetry sentences are shorter and involve less words and more description. They did really well! I am so impressed with how far their descriptive writing has improved! They are out in the hallway now so take a look!

Gym: Please see Mr. B's blog for more information.
Language: We finished off our poems.
UOI: We talked about increasing and decreasing friction. We watched a video

Next we  answered some questions in rotation on chart papers! Here is what we figured out:

What things are done at our school to make travelling safer in the winter?

·            Put salt down to increase friction

·            Snow plows take the snow away to increase friction

·            Boots with more grip to increase friction

What types of weather causes friction to increase and decrease?

·            Increase

o   Hail

o   Sun makes the snow melt and makes the tarmac bumpy

·            Decrease

o   Rain

o   Snow

o   Ice

Why might cars skid on icy roads?

·            Less friction on the road so they slid

Why do skiers and skateboarders put wax on their skis and skateboards?

·            To decrease friction and cause them to slid better
