May 9

Highlights:
  • Today we started an arctic story chart where we can note the characters and problems in the various arctic stories that we read. Today we read Wolf Island which was about how all animals are important to the food chain - when the wolves left the island the deer grew in numbers and overpopulated the island. This impacted the food supply for other animals because the deer ate all the leaves and grass.  
  • Computers: we learned how to share Google slides and documents to work on projects with multiple people. Some of us explored Google Slides or Docs by making presentations or typing stories, while others worked on Mathletics or Raz Kids.


  • Art: For the Volunteer Tea, we created Ted Harrison inspired bookmarks as gifts.



    • here are the finished products:
