Day 1
Students
wrote their unit test on Data Management during today’s math time.
As students
finished the test they began to think about the basket for their hot air
balloon. We had previously said that we would be weaving paper to create the
basket. Today students chose the two colours they will be using. I cut these
into strips for each student. They then worked on folding the strips. Students
that completed the math test quickly had more folding time than those that
finished later. Students are asked to watch the video below to prepare for the
basket weaving tomorrow. They may need to watch it a few times over to fully
understand how to create the basket. It really will take patience and a lot of
fine motor skills.
After recess
we had a dress rehearsal for the Christmas concert. We enjoyed watching the
other classes perform and seeing the concert from beginning to end. We are
wearing hats, scarves, and gloves for our performance, to look like carolers.
We look forward to seeing families at the noon and 7 pm Christmas concert performances
tomorrow. Remember that there are basket auctions taking place tomorrow
evening.
At the end
of the day we worked on our paper airplane airport activity that we began
yesterday. Students tested their planes to see if they were better at straight
flight, flight over a longer distance, or curved flight. Students considered
and recorded the characteristics of each plane that allowed it to be better at
a task. Remember that the test on Bernoulli’s Principle will take place
tomorrow.
Students
will be skating at Meadowvale 4 Rinks on Thursday. Consent forms must be
returned by Wednesday. Students must bring their own skates and helmets for
this trip. They DO NOT have to wear gym uniforms as stated in the skating form,
as this day is a Spirit Day.
Remember to
return reregistration packages.
One of the
students in our class is missing a blazer. Please check at home in case you
took it by mistake.
The bake
sale will take place again tomorrow.
