We are loving the warmer temperatures and the excitement that comes with it knowing Spring has arrived!
Our class has been hard at work completing various projects in math, Science, and even finished a special St. Patrick’s Day project involving the design and the building of a leprechaun trap.
In the pictures below, groups of students are working collaboratively to design an animal rescue that includes 5 animals, an entrance, a picnic area, a classroom, a snack shack and more! Each group had to invent a story of at least 1 animal detailing why that animal was in need of rescuing. Of course, we needed to figure out the perimeter and area of each building, too! We are currently presenting our projects.
We had a virtual visitor named Tracy come to our classroom from Huxley Jewellers here in London. She is a jewelry designer with a wealth of knowledge. She runs the store with her family. She shared with us so many neat things about rocks and minerals and we asked lots of great questions.
We’ve been focusing a lot on our understanding of what respect means in and out of the classroom and have been making some improvements in demonstrating respect throughout our day. Here’s what we came up with to help us demonstrate respect during eating times.
In our measurement unit, we sometimes explored perimeter and area using geoboards! In the pictures below, we are working with a partner to quiz each other on finding the perimeter and area of squares or rectangles near the end of our unit.
