We started the day by reading the morning message, graphing the temperature and then we did "Math Madness." We are doing a review of many of the concepts learned so far and using what we know to solve different math questions and problems. We reviewed the importance of explaining your thinking is as important than just getting the correct answer. Today we did some patterning problems, measurement problems and numeracy problems.
We then had Gym with Mr. Costa.
After recess we did more work on probability and today we focused on spinners and explaining fairness.
We created a variety of spinners that were fair and unfair. We then made estimates and tested our spinners to see if they matched out predictions.
After lunch we read from "Island". We then went to hear a storyteller in the libray tell asian themed stories as part of Asian Heritage Month. The stories were intersting and kept our attention.
When we returned to class, we chose the animal or plant we would like to research for our focus on information text.
After recess, we used our homework assignment to complete a personal timeline that included graphics and captions. So many have lived such interesting lives in 7 or 8 short years!
Reminder: Please send TSO forms back for our trip on June 2.
