In Language, we looked at the "al" sound in our shared reading. We continued our literacy centres. In guided reading, we began a new booklet with a return to picking out answers from short texts. Some students still have difficulty writing answers in sentence format so we will continue to work on this. In guided writing, we continued to work on biographies/autobiographies.
In Math this week, we focused on finishing up 3-d solids and the Explain Everything projects. Everyone has had a chance to answer a question in this app and we will try other questions in later units.
In Science, we predicted which items would float based on the force of flottibility and weight of objects. We experimented with several objects that the students were unsure of: erasers, candles, and corks. We also looked at the force of friction and conducted two different experiments, using a marble in one, and different types of paper in the other. We came up with an equation to explain friction.
Rough surface + Rough surface = lots of friction but slow speed
Rough surface + Smooth surface = medium friction and medium speed
Smooth surface + Smooth surface = very little friction but lots of speed
In Social Studies, the class learned about the Niagara peninsula and the two reasons why it is important for agriculture: its great climate (not too cold, not too hot, and longer summer season) and its fertile soil with lots of water sources.
We also went swimming on Tuesday and had DancePl3y today. We finished the week with the draw for the Playtrium pass. Congratulations to our winner, Ava M.
Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable March Break with your family!
