Terrific Thursday!

Chelsea has been performing action by reminding her parents to throw the food scraps into the food bin so that they can be used for compost! Great action Chelsea!! 

We began the day writing our homework in our agendas and then finishing our good copies of our recounts about The Bravest Fish.

We then had physical education with Mr. Slyk.

During Math, we learned how to recognize when a figure is flipped, has slid, or turned. We did some examples as a class.

After, we learned more about direction. We looked at a hundred’s chart to find a way to get from 33 to 55 using accurate and precise directions  (right, left, up, down). We went up to the board and described how we would get from 33 to 56. We then showed our understanding in our math book.  We looked at various figures and explained how each one has moved. We then looked at a hundred’s chart and figured out two different paths of how to get from 27 to 54. We then explained our directions to a friend.

After, we had an assembly for the spring fundraiser. We found out that we are almost at the 9000 mark!!! We need a little less then 600 dollars to water balloon our teachers!!

After first recess and lunch, we had music. We then had French with Mdm. Stella.

Following second recess and lunch, we spoke about the various ways that we can protect our trees. Some idea we came up with:

-Using two sides of paper

-Recycling paper

-Using cardboard to make various items (castle, doll house, storage container, drawers)

-Recycling cardboard

-Using cloth napkins instead of paper

-Avoiding using paper plates

-Using newspapers as a place mat when doing arts and crafts

-Using newspaper to wrap gifts (instead of tissue paper or wrapping paper

-Using newspaper to wrap our delicate items when moving homes
