Wonderful Wednesday!!!

We began the day working on our summative projects.

We then had French and then Gym.

After first recess and lunch we had Music.

When we returned, we had fun with math!!! First we reviewed what we learned yesterday about Litres:

Learning from Yesterday:

We were introduced to the term Litre written as L and that the litre is a unit used to measure how much a container holds. We looked at five different containers and we made predictions about which one would hold the most and which one would hold the least. We then made predictions about which one would hold about 1 litre. We found out that the detergent container held 1 Litre. Once we had this benchmark we made predictions about each container about whether or not they could hold about a litre, more than a litre or less than a litre. We found out that the milk container and the juice jug held more, the plastic container held 1 litre (even though it was shorter than the detergent container but it was much wider!) and the plastic cup held less than a litre. We then learned that 4 glasses go into 1 litre and we used this knowledge to complete measuring capacity activities.

So if 1L = 4 glasses

2L= 8 glasses

3L = 12

4L = 16

5L = 20

Our knowledge of multiplication became very handy today!!!! We were able to determine how many glasses would go into 20 litres= 80 glasses!!

We then learned that we would use litres when measuring the capacity of larger container but for smaller containers we would use millilitres. We found out that in 1 L = 1000 mL!!!!! So then in 2L = 2000mL and in 3L=3000 mL and so on. We then practiced measuring in mL by making a magic potion!!! Check them out!!!!

After second recess and lunch we finished working on our summative project.

Tomorrow students will begin presenting their summative project.

Tremendous Tuesday!!!!

We began the day working on our holiday scrapbooks for our summative projects.

Next we had French and then Gym.

After first recess and lunch we explored capacity. We have been measuring time and temperature and we discussed other ways that we can measure. Today our focus was measuring how much a container can hold which we learned is measuring capacity. We were introduced to the term Litre written as L and that the litre is a unit used to measure how much a container holds. We looked at five different containers and we made predictions about which one would hold the most and which one would hold the least. We then made predictions about which one would hold about 1 litre. We found out that the detergent container held 1 Litre.

After second recess and lunch we continued working on our summative projects.

Marvelous Monday!

We began the day working with out lesson 17 spelling words.

Next we had French and then Gym.

After first recess and lunch we had Music.

When we returned, we practiced counting money amounts together and making change and then we worked individually practicing these skills. Ms. Jaskolka is so proud of how hard we have been working on understanding and applying these important skills!!! We are becoming money experts!!!

After second recess and lunch we began our UOI summative project. We have created out own holiday and now we are putting together a scrapbook for our newly invented holiday. Students really had fun using their amazing creativity and wide imaginations while working on this project. We will continue working on our scrapbooks tomorrow and Wednesday and we will begin presenting them on Thursday.

Have fun playing in the snow!!!
