Happy Friday Oct 25!
Reminders:
Orange and Black Day October 31. Please do not wear costumes, instead wear orange and black!
Please return lunch room forms asap
Please return hockey reading tracker each day you read to receive a new hockey card:)
Special note:
Today I sent home a sheet with the students blue folders. This sheet is to be used to track home reading to earn hockey cards for our Calgary Flames reading program. Each time they read 30 mins they will earn a new card. 24 Cards to earn plus some additional Harvey the hound cards!
I know that we also have my home reading sheets to fill in as well. It would be great to record it twice to show once the hockey sheets are no longer being used. But it is not mandatory. The important thing is that your child is reading :)
Everyone read in class for 30 mins today so I gave everyone a hockey card!
Go Flames Go!
Today in room 5!
We began our day with a quick morning meeting before starting some ipads. This 50 min block was split into two sections.
Students were given 25 mins to do razkids with leveled reading books.
Followed by 25 mins of mathletics to work on specific math activities.
In gym we continued to play some four sided crash mat soccer!
After our Netflix Friday for 15 mins while eating snack we did our student of the week writing.
It was great to learn so much about a member of our class!
After writing about the student of the week we transitioned into a very exciting science experiment.
We wanted to test the absorbency of different fabrics and materials.
The materials were as follows:
Wax paper
Sponge
Tin foil
Shamwow cloth
microfiber cloth
Napkin
Each material submersed in water for 10 secs and the squeezed into a measuring cup. We measured the amount of water in terms of cups and ounces!
After some rigorous testing, we discovered...........
The least absorbent material was tin foil and wax paper!
The most absorbent material was a sponge holding 1 cup or 8 ounces of water!
Wahoo! The students prediction was correct!
After cleaning up the room the students headed out at the end of the day!
Have a great weekend everyone!
