Tuesday, Feb. 21

Highlights:

• Today in Math, we continued to practice our strategies for solving two digit equations that require regrouping. Many of us are beginning to favour certain strategies over others and are becoming more efficient with problem solving!
• In Literacy, we read a fun book called How to Give Your Cat a Bath. It really showed us how important details are. We talked about how specific procedural writing uses precise action words. Ask me what are examples of words we would find in a recipe versus words in a drawing book.

• Today in PE, we worked on net sports. We had different stations that we had to go to. Ask me which station was my favourite.

• For Science, we learned how to amplify sound. We did a few different demonstrations that helped us to understand this concept. We created a megaphone to help us amplify our voices. Ask me to explain how the megaphone amplified the sound. 

• In Social Studies, we talked about the leadership in Peru. We discussed what makes a good leader and the qualities they should have. We made a connection to ourselves and wrote the qualities we feel we have and an example of when we show good leadership. 

Reminders:

• Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day. Students are welcome to wear a pink shirt to school, if they have one. We will be learning about the importance of this day and why we celebrate it.
• Popcorn Fun Lunch will be on Thursday for those that ordered.
