We began the day writing our homework in our agenda and then writing out our Spelling words.

We then had physical education with Mr. Slyk.

Marcus then presented his Simple Machines project.

After, we began our next unit of inquiry learning about cultures. We discussed what culture meant to us and watched a short video explaining the different aspects of culture while filling out a mind map.

Since today is the 100^th Day of School, we wrote a story about our life at that age. Writing prompt: If I were one hundred years old….

After first recess and lunch, students’ continued working on their stories from this morning and when they were finished, they drew themselves at 100 years old. Then, we used an aging app, and students saw what they might look like when they are 100 years old.

When students were finished, students answered 100th Day questions. After, students did some Word Work. Students tried to come up with as many words as the can with the words ONE HUNDRED.

After second recess and lunch, students continued working on their lesson 20 Spelling words.
