Today we started off by recording the temp. for yesterday and today.
We also looked at the daily high temp. for the month to see what the mode temp. was . We found out that is was 13 C. Mode means a number that appears most often in a set of data. We then rewrote our Journal entries from yesterday. I gave some feedback, and asked them to make the corrections and redo it.
Those not complete were asked to do it for homework.
We had another firedrill today. Right afterwards Ms. Leung kept the students for DPA/Drama.
After recess we did a math review that focussed on patterns. Gr. 2's created challenging patterns for the Gr. 3's to find the rule, and continue the pattern. Gr. 3's also reviewed some Geometry, and venn diagrams.
After lunch we went to the computer lab to do some animal / plant research. We learned how to do a search using search engines on the library website, as well as use some the online encyclopedias. Some of us found it useful to use the Read and Write Gold program to read information that was on the internet.
We are still trying to gather information about our plants and animals.
When we returned to class, Gr. 3s did a eqao type reading question, while the Gr.2 read their leveled book and wrote a retelling.
Last period we talked about how the European settlers arrived to Canada and had to learn many things from the aboriginal people. The aboriginal people also learned things from the settlers. The Gr. 3
then looked at the exchange in more detail, while the Gr. 2 did an activity that got them to think about what they learned about their culture and background from their parents and grandparents. They wrote about and drew special foods, celebrations, clothing, religious events etc.
HOMEWORK: Complete Journal.
