This morning we had a guest teacher because Mrs. Otterson was in a meeting. We began our plasticine maps that focus on the natural regions of Alberta. We had to have a title, legend, compass rose and later will be adding interesting facts about each region, now that we have conducted LOTS of research.
We completed another practice sheet that had students working through several addition and subtraction questions that were 3 or 4 digits. We should be fairly good at carrying and subtracting with regrouping. The guest teacher commented how quiet and focused we were during this work time - good job great four!! In the gym we played a game of Octopus tag for a warm up. Then we practiced overhead passing in volleyball. After lunch students made predictions about the purple bin that is in our classroom. Students had to determine how the bag of decomposing leaves was connected to what was in the bin. We now have WORMS! These are natures decomposers. We discussed what "biodegradable" means and how it is important to our worms. At the end of the day students wrote Haiku poems that match their beautiful Rocky Mountain water colour artwork. Reminders: Parent-Teacher Conferences November 24 & 25 Thursday, November 24 (morning only) Field Trip volunteers still welcome.
