PLEASE REMEMBER: Dress for the weather. Generally, we plan to be outside even in the rain, so please dress appropriately. 

 This morning we played with the parachute in Phys. Ed today. We played Cat and Mouse, Popcorn ball. We tried to pop the balls out of the parachute and then a version where we tried to pop the ball into the middle of the parachute. 

In ELAL we completed 7 minutes of writing. We wrote about anything we wanted for 7 minutes, for example someone wrote a poem, and others used the photo for inspiration. Today the photos were a cat with mice on it, and an elephant being walked. 

In math we started creating our own mystery pictures using our knowledge that we have learned in geometry so far. 

We went to Makerspace to grow our creative minds! As an example, Joshua made a board game. Some others made towers and wetlands. 

We explored the spelling pattern for past tense words ending in -ed. We realized that if a word ends in an "unvoiced" letter, the ed at the end sounds like a "t". For example; jumped, sparked, whipped. 

In social studies today we worked on some mapping skills. We were able to use our knowledge of coordinate plotting from math, to help us understand the grid of the earth. We did a little scavenger hunt using lines of latitude and longitude to guide us. This was an enjoyable task!
