April 15

Highlights:

  • Math: Worked on a new math problem - "Kim had 33 sled dogs.  She wanted to make teams and each sled could only take 6 dogs.  How many teams could she make?"  Today we used symbols and grouped them to represent the teams of dogs as a strategy to help us find the solution.
  • Science: worked on finishing up our questions for our Arctic Buddy Challenge - we had to summarize things that worked well, things that could have been improved, discuss our roles & responsibilities in the experiment, and then think of ways we could do even better to work in a group next time.
  • Gym: parachute games - we played Cat & Mouse, then added extra challenges where the mice had to gather "cheese" under the parachute and the cats were stealing the cheese from the opposing teams.
