Wonderful Wednesday!
We began the day writing our homework
in our agendas and then learning about the water cycle. Learning about the
water cycle will help us better understand the importance of water conservation
since water moves in a cycle, and we never get new water. We began watching a
Bill Nye video about the water cycle to better understand how water moves
around.
We then had physical education with
Mr. Slyk.
During math, we worked on problem
solving questions using fractions. There were 12 children at a camp site and
only 2 tents, ½ of the children will go into each tent: how many children would
go into each tent? We figured out the answer would by 6.
There were 12 children at a camp
site and only 3 tents, 1/3 of the children will go into each tent: how many
children would go into each tent? We figured out the answer would by 4. There
were 12 children at a campsite and 4 tents, 1/4 of the children will go into
each tent: how many children would go into each tent? We figured out the answer
would by 3.
We realized that multiplication and
division strategies could help us answer these questions and also using visuals
and cubes.
We then did a similar question
using 24 children. Students then showed their understanding in their math
books.
There are 13 children lined up for
the bumper cars. There are 4 bumper cars. Each bumper car can hold 3 children.
Can everyone ride bumper cars at the same time? We explained using pictures,
numbers, and words how one child would be left out. We then answered similar
questions.
After first recess and lunch, we
began writing our adventure/scary story using the story plan we created
yesterday.
We then had French with Mdm.
Stella.
After second recess and lunch, we continued
working our stories.
We then continued watching the Bill
Nye video.
