We reflected on the learner profile for May which was 'Principled.' Students wrote and drew a picture about honesty, fairnes, integrity and what principled means. They also began writin the third page of their report card.

For math today, we took up the review and learned cool, new way to figure out the edges in 3D-solids
If you add the number of face and vertice in a 3d-solid then subtract 2 you get the edges.









We are still working on the spelling for some shapes!

Here is a sample of their answers. For sorting, some students chose different attributes and that's okay!



For language today, we read chapter 9 of our novel study and answered comprehension questions individually.





For UOI today, we continued our research on endangered animals using the tablets. Students used this time to also research about their chosen endangered animal for their project.

Friday 25 May 2018



Agenda:
-Math test next Thurs May 31
-Read for 20 mins
-Math worksheet on sorting solids
-UOI summative due June 11



For language - we had our spelling test and read chapter 6 of  'A perfect time for Pandas.'

For math - we review attributes of 3D-solids and learned how to use the Venn-diagram to sort solids. We used attributes such as shape of face, number of vertices, congruency.

We worked on sorting our real figures, and also compared prisms and pyramids.

What do cones and a triangular pyramid have in common? They both have a base!


We practiced using different attributes and then worked on our worksheet. We took up the worksheet after.






For UOI today, we began researching about endangered animals using the WWF Together app. Students used this app to learn about different animals habitats, food, fun facts, and what is making them endangered.






We will be continuing on Monday and students are welcome to bring in their devices. If possible please download the WWF Together app.

The form for the play day will be sent home tomorrow. We got back just in time for dismissal.
Today was our trip to African Lion Safari

We learned some facts about endangered animals, the causes and got to see them up close! We attended an elephant show and went on the river cruise and saw white handed gibbons! Just like the one we sponsored from WWF.






We got to touch the elephant!






Have a wonderful night!
