Dress Rehearsal


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.
