Today in physical eduction Miss N had students working on a cooperative game. They all stood in a large circle and had to pass around a ball as quickly as they could saying the name of the person to their left. Our fastest time was 17 seconds. We are working at utilizing different strategies to become even faster.
Students worked with a partner to solve several 3-digit word problems. Having many heads working together is better than just one. Students had to read aloud the question and identify the important information and then work together to solve the problem. We looked at the six regions of Alberta in more detail. Students had to each read about a different region and then share with their table group what they learned. We are working as a whole class to fill in a table that has us focus on climate, natural resources, landforms, vegetation, and bodies of water. There will be a guest teacher for music for the next short time until Miss Lysak returns. As such, there is no choir at the moment. The Secret Garden was captured our attention today because Mary finds the entrance to the garden and goes in. Science had us measuring our beans again. I would like students to begin to find the difference in growth (if your bean was 11 cm on Monday, and is now 17 cm today, what is the difference). Ask me if my plant has grown much. We read "The Tiny Seed" by Eric Carle and learned another method that seeds travel by. Specifically, water and wind. See if I can remember two examples of these types of seeds. There was also another fire drill this afternoon and students did amazing!
