We started off our chilly, rainy-day Thursday in the library!
No better way to spend a rainy day than with a good book!
In Math we tackled our second "Thinking Classroom" question. This time, we were trying to figure out where to stand in line at 711 in order to receive the most free stuff! If every 3rd person in line
gets a free slurpee and every 7th person in line receives a t-shirt, where in line do you have
to be to receive both?
Our groups all approached and solved the question in different ways and were able to build on what they learned in the first version of the question as they tackled each additional question given.
Bravo!
Thursday in Science, students worked in their table groups to sort a set of random objects. Their goal was to look at the group of objects as a whole and then to ask specific "yes / no" questions in order to sort the objects into different groups. Some objects were fairly easy to group together while others called for quite a bit of discussion and depended on our own experiences. We all collaborated well in our teams and came up with some great solutions! Great work, everyone!
** Friday! **
Friday morning in Math we completed a loooong assessment (89 questions!) of all things Math. This will help Mme Careen see what concepts we are already familiar with as well as which ones we might need to review. There were questions from Grade 2 concepts all the up to Grade 9! Wow! Our brains worked hard this morning and we all tried our best to answer as many questions as we could.
(P.S. If we forgot to bring in our Toonie for Terry today, we can still bring in our donations on Monday).
