In math today we started a measurment challenge. The challenge uses non-standard measurement units which means things like feet, hands, and body lengths. These are non-standard because they are not always the same. Hands, feet, and bodies can all be different lengths. We talked about the importance of accurate, careful measuring and about using a consistent unit of measurement if you are trying to compare two different things.
This afternoon we started our new social studies unit about Nova Scotia. Ms. Boyer started by sharing some pictures from her summer vacation to Nova Scotia. We made observations about the landscape and tried to compare it to the landscape in the arctic. We also looked at some pictures of the different boats Ms. Boyer went on including one very famous boat called the Bluenose. Tomorrow we will take a closer look at the Bluenose and learn more about its history.
Our helper tomorrow is: Ibrahim
