We began our day today with some exciting awards and activities in the auditorium! We gave out the Thinker awards for November, our friend Adn was nominated by the class to receive the Thinker award! Way to go Adn! We then found out who won the Science Fair! It was a super close race and we came in THIRD! I am so proud of our class! We then ended the assembly with a house game where students competed in their houses for house points and the whole school learned that I am not very good at soccer!
We also had two action stars today! Our friend Karina has a sleepover at the Bradley Museum and made a teddy bear out of cloth! She learned a lot about Pioneers! Emana also used her knowledge of making dolls like pioneers to make a doll at home.
In math we focused on Naming Numbers in Different Ways. Students learned about writing numbers in standard form, using pictures, writing the base-ten name, using base-ten blocks, and using a place-value chart. Students also received the review for their test this Thursday!
In language we began by discussing adjectives, students played apples to apples using adjectives and pictures cards to learn how to use the best adjectives to describe different nouns! We then worked on the Christmas Concert Script, students are beginning to memorize their parts! In terms of costumes students are to be wearing pajamas (festive if possible!) and have "Who-Style" hair. I will send along pictures in an email shortly to help you get some ideas.
After lunch, recess, and French we had a very fun and inquiry-based UOI lesson today. We had different stations set up to help students learn about different kinds of forces including Buoyancy, Friction, Muscle Force, and Gravity. Students circulated the room and performed different tasks at each center. They had so much fun asking questions and becoming thinkers, and inquirers.
After second lunch and recess our friend Caitlyn who has been away for a little while presented her pioneer video which the whole class really enjoyed! We then headed off to gym. We ended the day with time to complete agendas and work on spelling and math homework before kiss and ride!
