for a day, or shooting Mr. Foster with a Nerf gun. School wide fundraising targets will allow students the opportunity
to give Mr. Rozario a makeup lesson or water balloon their teachers. So, get
out there SJA, and raise some money!!!!!
We began the day writing our Unit 23 spelling test.
Next we had French and then Gym.
After first recess and lunch we looked at patterns on
grids during math class. First Ms. Jaskolka showed us three different patterns
on a grid and we discussed as a class what we noticed about each pattern.
Example: the pattern repeats red, orange, green and yellow; row 1 and 5 are the
same; column 2 and 6 are the same. We then worked in partners to answer
questions related to patterns on a grid.
After second recess and lunch we moved onto UOI. During
UOI, we discussed the difference between strength and stability and how it is
important that structures are both strong and stable.
We also watched a video to better understand why structures need
to be stable and strong; we looked at the houses built by the three little
pigs:
After we explored the effects that various forces and loads have
upon objects, materials, and structures. Students can continue this exploration
at home:
We also watched a fun video to see how we could build a
structure out of paper that could hold up a book! We watched as the paper
was bent and folded to see which shape is strongest and can best support the
weight of a heavy book!! Check it out!
At the end of the day, we
worked on our TRIBES activity in which we were put into groups and created a
puzzle piece. Students wrote one thing about themselves and decorated their
puzzle in such a way that describes themselves and their personality. Students
were put into groups to interact with students not normally at their table
groups. Students will finish working on their puzzle pieces next week.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
