Today we had an interesting eye opening activity to kick off our morning! We sketched a piece of coal (at first we didn't know what it was). We had to guess what it was and why it was important. We learned that coal provides energy and it is a natural resource found in the Rocky Mountains.
We worked in groups of two or three to read information about the Foothills Region. Afterwards, we had to share what we learned with our classmates because we were experts about that topic. In our visual journals we created another page about the Foothills Region. As well we focused on Social Studies vocabulary this morning. The teacher gave us a sheet of paper that either had the missing definition or the missing word. We had to work in teams to help each other define things and figure out the matching word based on the definition. This matched the picture we drew. During gym time we played Mrs. Otterson's favourite game! Dodgeball :) The secret was to "activate" the ball. Mrs. Otterson is still looking at the work we completed yesterday in math. We will continue this work tomorrow. Chapter 21 of the Secret Garden left us on a cliff hanger!! Ben, one of the manor's gardner's, has discovered Mary, Dickon and Colin in the garden. Dickon and Mary also prevented Colin from learning about the tree that killed his mother. Colin does not yet know this fact. Dickon was kind and distracted him by having him look at the robin. In science, we have just about completed our second step of our commercial making process. Our next job will be to add the audio.
