Top Five Fabulous!  March 6, 2020

1.  In PE, we have been learning gymnastics skills.  We were working on our movements around the gym, and then balancing using our cores. We had to listen for a movement, and a number to show that point balance.  For example, skipping and 8 would mean skipping around the gym and then finding an 8 point balance. 

2.  In science, we have been learning about how water evaporates.  We conducted a few different experiments.  In one of them, we put ice cubes on black paper and then white paper and put them in the sun.  The ice melted really quickly when it was on the black paper as the black paper absorbed the heat.  We also talked about how to keep our water clean and safe.  We read the book, “The Water Princess” and watched a video. Check it out under our wonders.

3.  In art, we have been learning about a new artist.  We learned about Paul Klee.. He used many 2D shapes and 3D objects in his art.  He was fascinated with colour and inspired by the colour in Tunisia.  We have started our masterpiece and will continue to work on it next week.

4.  In math, we are learning to show numbers between 50-99.  We showed numbers by using tally marks, pictures, money, dice, place value mats, number lines, addition and subtraction equations and words.  We rolled and built different numbers and we will show you how to do this during Student Led Conferences.

5.  In writing, we have been writing about how we can show kindness to ourselves, our friends and within our world.  Ask me how I show kindness.
