          Today we went to music early and met our little buddies!  The student verification forms are still due Friday,  and the Hep B forms are due the 16th.   We worked on our portfolios and read The Butterfly to start to make connections.

                                             Today was super fun!

 Today's homework is in math.  It has three parts.  It is listed below.  You should draw your pattern.

a)  Design another toothpick pattern, building and recording the first 3 terms.
b) Explain your pattern.
c)  Consider how many toothpicks would be required to build the 100th term in the pattern.
     
Hypothesis for our Science Investigation due tomorrow. Must incorporate all six materials and their reasoning for their prediction.

                    Today, we got homework help set up and learned a cool trick on My tools 2 go.ca from Mr.Sisco. We kept working on setting up a science sheet about our experiments.
                                                 
                                                                 Today was amazing!

Tuesday, September 9, 2014

   Today we have no homework!  Although that the student verification forms are due Friday.  We started our three-week long experiment with dead materials today and we also learned about analogous colours as we started our art portfolios.  As a group we checked over our diagnostic assessments.  Finally, we made toothpick patterns and discussed patterning through a concept map.
                                                          Today was great!
                                                             Connor

Monday, September 8th, 2014

   All materials for the experiment are due Tuesday.  Also is a textbook search in science due tomorrow. We played four corner soccer for gym and everyone had a great time!  We worked on our first diagnostic assessment of the year for math.  We started talking about our reading book, The Giver, and it's author, Lois Lowry. 

                        Hopefully tomorrow (and the rest of the school year) will be as great as today was.

Duotangs

As a class we have established the following organization system for our duotangs:

Math - Orange

Literacy - Green

French - Blue

Science/Geography/History - Light Blue

Health - Red

Religion/Family Life - Purple or Pink

The Arts - Yellow or White

Science Investigation

We will begin our science investigation tomorrow. We are investigating which materials decomposers break down in soil. This investigation will take four weeks to complete. 

Please remember all materials for tomorrow. 

If anyone has any extra 2L pop bottles or netting/window screening/cheese cloth, we are in need of more of these items. 

Mrs. Thompson picked up a large bag of top soil, if any groups were needing garden soil. 

See you in the morning :)

    Today was our first Friday of school!  All of the homework is due Monday.  The work is to finish Figure Me Out (Math), and get the materials needed for the experiment (Science).  Don't forget to bring in the  Introducing Your Child and Field trip sheets filled out by Monday.  An independent reading book, gym clothes and running shoes are also needed.
    We did a group activity where we built a puzzle that lead to a group talk about teamwork and lots things we shouldn't forget.  There was also the high intensity workout where we did Mountain climbers and Squat jumps.  We also got to mark our quizzes about us that Mrs.Thompson had to do.

                                            Hope you have a great weekend!
