who raise money! Grand prizes include a movie and pizza party; this is for the
class that raises the most money!
We began the day writing our homework in
our agendas and then finishing up our pen pal letters. They will be sent tomorrow
to Illinois!!
We then had physical education with Mr.
Slyk.
We then continued learning about
measurement in Math. We discussed some of the problems
using non-standard units such as erasers, pencils, and paper clips to measure.
We decided that we could not get an exact measurement using these objects. As a
result, using standard measurement is important so that we can measure more precisely;
as a class we explored how a 30 cm ruler is good for measuring smaller objects
and a meter stick is better when measuring bigger objects. Students also came
up with their own ideas such as using a measuring tape. Students then used a
ruler to measure the length and width of bugs in their math books. Students
were reminded to always begin at 0 and they were also taught how we can count
in between numbers (example: 2.3 or 2.7). After, we looked for objects that we
thought were 10cm long. Then we measured each object to see if we were correct.
After first recess and lunch, we had Music.
Students then had French with Mdm. Stella.
After second recess and lunch, we continued
reading Flat Stanley. Students are especially excited during this novel study! We
first discussed what happened in Chapter 3 and then moved onto reading chapter
4. During this chapter, Oda Nobu was using Stanley as more of a party trick
than his personal Ninja. This made Stanley very upset and Oda Nobu apologized
for doing so and offered to take him on a trip to show his forgiveness.
