Monday March 19th 2018

Highlights:
We started our morning discussing our learning targets (outcomes) for our measurement unit. Student's are aiming to be at the centre of the target or at a 4. See the picture below. They will explain this to you during student led conferences.  We also started lesson 4 of this unit. Today's lesson focused on using a ruler to measure. Student's made a tagboard and glues yellow and green stripes of paper on it. They used this to measure objects around the classroom. They had music and gym. In gym, student's practiced skipping. Today was special because we skipped in the dark with glow sticks attached to our ropes. After gym, we continued typing our Winter Stories into google drive. The student's are excited to share them with you during student led conferences. After lunch, we had spelling and social studies. Today, the student's were introduced to Peru. This is the next country we're studying. The student's have many 'wonders' about Peru and are excited to find the answers to their questions about Peru.
