Top Five Fabulous       Feb. 28

1. In PE we had a guest teacher.  He taught gym because he reached 100 on his reading treasure map.  He decided what games our class would be playing.  Also he explained what expectations he was looking in order to choose which classmates would be helpers.

2. In math, we used a mystery box to guess which 3D object was inside it.  We brainstormed a few questions to ask to figure out what object might be in the box.  The questions were: How many faces does the object have? How many edges does the object have? How many vertices does the object have?  What shapes are faces?  What could the object be used for?

3.  On Wednesday we had a sharing assembly.  In our assembly, a few of the grade 5/6 students shared “Would You Rather…” writing.  They were funny.  The grade 4’s and kindergarden class sang a kindness song and asked the whole school to participate in a kindness challenge.  Ask me what acts of kinds I have done and will be doing.  Students also reminded the school about our recycling program. They explained what is recyclable and what is not.   

4. We started a new writing prompt this week.  How do you show kindness to yourself? We brainstormed many ways to be kind to ourselves such as making sure we eat healthy food, exercising, asking for help when we need it and telling ourselves positive thoughts (“I can persevere”).  Ask me how I can be kind to myself.

   

5. In science we continued to explore liquids, we learned how the school is heated and cooled, brainstormed safety rules when touching hot/cold objects and how people and animals use insulation to survive in the cold.  Ask me about all the great science exploration I did this week.
