Today in Math we went over our rounding practice sheet and started looking at strategies for estimating sums, including front-end rounding and compatible numbers. We will continue this next week. In French, we worked more on la météo. Next week, we'll begin our next unit: L'école. We learned more about our characters' backgrounds while reading Because of Mr. Terupt. We also began looking at strong verbs. In Social Studies we continued our exploration of identity by reflecting on and representing elements of our own identities on outlines of our hands, in a mix of writing and drawing. Students considered physical and personality traits, hobbies and activities, cultural backgrounds, groups to which they belong, and things that they love. We got a good start on these identity hands, and will finish them up during QR/WOW blocks in the next little while.

This morning we had a fabulous presentation on Acids, Bases, and pH! Students got to mix household chemicals to observe colour-changing reactions. After that, they worked as a group to identify what chemicals were used with the help of a universal indicator chart. Students worked through a check in to decide on and compare probability of different events. They also had their last (for now) composer session in Music. In Social, they worked more on their Arctic notes. In Art, we continued our Monet-inspired Birch Trees by adding snow and shadows. They are looking extremely beautiful! Students had their Positive Choice reward time with the computers and we ended the day with our novel.
