Today I sent home the field trip form for our upcoming field trip. We need volunteers for the trip! If you have your police clearance we would love to have you join us :)
Today in room 5!

We began our day with our monthly pillars of care assembly. Congrats to the winners of the pillars of care and punctuality awards in room 5!
We also enjoyed the video of all the cool things BHS students did this month.
We finished off the assembly with the baby shark dance done by Mr Mahon and yours truly in a shark onesie! Kids really got a kick out seeing their teachers being silly. Way to go everyone for raising $400!

After our assembly the students did a math talk involving the estimation of chocolate within a jar.
They had to begin by seeing, thinking and wondering what they saw on the screen.
Next they saw some pics breaking down how many chocolates were in each bag and how many were left over. Students then had use their knowledge to break down the bags and figure out how many chocolates were in each bag. In the end watched a video explaining how to solve the problems. It was great to see all the students strategies for solving this multistep problem!
I wanted to post some pics of the experiment but I do not have access to the photos from the site.

Students then headed to the gym for a rehearsal of the song we will be performing at our Winter Concert with all students.

We finished off the day with a science lesson from our student teacher. We learned about different strengths of magnets and how magnetic fields will travel through an object. After some exploring with magnets and painting using magnetism we reached the end of our day.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend and stays warm!
