Feb 11

Today we started the morning with journal writing. Then, for math, we had some students share their ideas for their math board games. We will be using a counting pattern (2s, 5s or 10s) for the spaces, and personalizing the games by adding different rules where turns can be skipped or players can move ahead or back certain number of spaces.  We are hoping to have these ready for the Math evening to play with our families on Feb 21st.

In gym we had gymnastics with benches, trestle, and balance beams! We talked about safety, such as not touching the metal on the top of the trestle. We were practicing balancing, walking, bear crawl and crab crawl, hopping, and 180 and 360 jumps.

Unfortunately due to the weather, we were not able to build the ice village for science as we hoped, but we are planning to do so tomorrow or Wednesday~! So instead, we documented the steps that we took when conducting our experiment with water in winter. When doing this, we learned about abbreviating our words and using symbols for note-taking.
