Tomorrow we are going to the Bella Concert Hall at Mount Royal University. Everyone in our class has returned their forms BUT there was a mistake when the forms were sent home and we need to bring back another signed form tomorrow.
Today we did not have journals because our student teacher Ms. Douglas was teaching us this morning. Ms. Douglas read us a story called "The Mitten". It was about animals who crawled into a mitten that a boy had lost in the woods. Then we each made our own mitten out of paper and we decorated it. Next time we are going to get to make the animals for the mitten so we can re-tell the story.
Today in math we started the Mathlympics! Today was the first day where we actually started competing. We went to the events with our team and we had to record our work and our answers in our competition books. Team Netherlands went to curling today. Team Germany went to figure skating. Team Norway went to ski jumping. Team China went to cross country skiing. Ask me about my event today!
This afternoon we started our animal research. We started by researching our animal's appearance. Today we began by drawing a diagram of our animal. A diagram is different from a picture because it has labels that give information about the picture. We worked on add labels that had lots of detail. For example: Instead of justing writing ears for the label on a lynx, we might put pointy ears with black tips.
After that we went to gym. We are learning racquet sports. Then we had our finish up time. We had to work to finish our family page in our All About Me books. If we were finished we could choose drawing, books, or computers. Ask me if I have finished my family page.
For our field trip tomorrow please wear your green Dr. Coffin t-shirt or hoodie if you have one and don't forget to bring back the form!
