Please start bringing in recycle supplies to create a device to keep something warm or cold for a period of time! We will be doing this experiment hopefully next week if we finish all the preparation. We decided as a class to build the main box/container using shape nets! So we only need supplies to go inside of the shape net boxes. (cardboard, styrofoam, paper and any other insulators you may want to use!
Tomorrow the students will be picking their materials. I will send home what they choose so they can bring something in :) If need be I will have some stuff they can use as well!
Reading...Give it a Shot
BHS has enrolled in the Calgary Flames reading program. Students will be bringing home tracking sheets to monitor how much they read each day. Can you please sign the spot needed if they are reading at home?
When your child reads 30 minutes they will earn one reading card. I have sent home a green folder with the sheet to track your minutes! Once they collect all 24, they can move onto the bonus card collection of Harvey the Hound doing funny things! To earn these new cards students must read for 60 minutes. The reading competition started Monday, January 18th and ends March 26th. Teachers will be tracking totals in order to hopefully win a virtual visit from the Calgary Flames. The more they read… the more chance we have of the Calgary Flames visiting our school virtually!
Thank you for your support and work with encouraging your child to read!
Go Flames Go!
Today in room 5:
We began our day with some catch up and reading time. Some students still had to finish their plans for their Frosty Fridge and Karen Insulator. We will be building these next week so please try and bring something in over the next few days! I have some stuff I can bring in as well.
Room 5 then went off to gym with Mr Sadowsky to do BHS Olympics! Go room 5!
During snack we read a book called Clark the Shark. After the book we discussed what happened at the beginning, middle and end. This tied into our afternoon perfectly!
After our morning meeting and snack we moved into some sentence writing. The task was a continuation of the previous day. We were learning how to stretch a sentence!
For example:
Who: A puppy .
What: A puppy sat on the rug.
When: A puppy sat on the rug after dinner.
Where: A puppy sat on the rug in the living room after dinner.
Why: A puppy sat on the rug in the living room after dinner because he was full and sleepy.
After writing we had recess on the compound playing with room 5's outdoor toys.
We then moved into math and continued our exploration of double digit subtraction with borrowing. Watch the video below for a great explanation!
Here is some extra work if you would like to practice!
We read a story called: The Ninja bread Man.
After reading the story we talked about what happened in the beginning, middle and end of the book.
Students then had to draw these parts of the story using a three part sheet.
This carried us to recess on the playground before heading inside.
Our last activity of the day was to create another shape net! The square based pyramid!
We cut and glued the shape to form some pyramids. Not only is it a great activity for teaching us about shapes, but it also a HUGE test of patience! Which is our pillar of the month!
Have a great day everyone!
Mr Lancee
