We had a rather productive day, despite the craziness and Spring Break being only one day away!
*Purdy's orders are in! Some students took them home, others will need to be picked up. You can call the office if unsure.
We started our day watching an amazing video about people in China who live up in the mountains. Check this out:
Next, we marked the possessive nouns worksheet that we did yesterday, followed by a second short review quiz about nouns. That left a few minutes for students to work on their Landforms book in Book Creator.
After recess break, students did their second X3 drill and recorded their results on their bar graph. Then we marked / reviewed the perimeters package they worked on yesterday, not only reviewing what perimeter is, but developing strategies to make addition easier. Students are also encouraged to write down partial sums and not to keep everything in their head; this is how mistakes are often made. Students are also reminded to include the ever-important unit of measure in their answer!
After lunch, Pat's class presented their research projects about grease trails and the eulachon. My class played Kahoot! after the presentations to see how well they listened to the presentations. I think they enjoy the competition more than anything:)
Upon our return, students learned about warm and cool colours.
They began landscape pictures using warm or cool colours (either one or the other for the sky, and the opposite for the land). I also introduced them to Ted Harrison's art work and whose style we are using to create our art pieces. The following are works in progress.
REMINDERS: WEAR GREEN TOMORROW FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY, and TACO LUNCH PROVIDED for those who said they wanted some. :)
