News for June 5Well the big news this week was the EQAO testing. The students worked very hard for three days. The students who did not write the test spent the time with Mr. Lee in his classroom.
In math the class did the activity, "The Four Toothpicks Challenge" to help develop their spatial reasoning (part of geometry). They worked in groups to find all the different ways to make patterns where the toothpicks are all touching but they could only touch end-to-end or at right angles (like the corner of a square). They glued their patterns on construction paper and made a deck of cards to play a game next week.
The class read a few books about "sock monkeys". Each child has now begun to create their own sock creature which will be used for inspiration for stories and movies during the last weeks of school.
Darryl came by to deliver the finished pottery mugs this week and they look wonderful! These were sent home on Thursday. Thanks to Darryl for taking time to teach the class how to make their own mugs.
The students finished their science research posters and they are now on display in the west stairwell by our classroom. Each child chose the most "fascinating" fact from his/her poster and talked about it in our class movie "Did You Know?". You may view the movie below:
