Today in room 5:

We began our day with ignite to get ourselves ready for the day.

We immediately followed this with a quick morning meeting before having some time to practice regrouping with addition. We will be practicing this skill all week!

During gym we had some time to use the skipping ropes to practice our jump rope leading up our assembly tomorrow!

In the block after snack we returned to our student of the week writing. It was great to learn about our classmate and the students did a great job of writing about them!

We finished off our morning with some word work games before lunch. I bought three new games: POP, Sight word bingo, and bananagrams. These were a huge hit!

In the afternoon we had some silent reading time before revisiting why the prices between Iqaluit and Calgary are so different! We will finish exploring this tomorrow!

We finished off our day with a little science experiment. 

We observed the changes caused by adding heat to popcorn kernels!

Up close on a camera the students were so excited to watch the popcorn transform from tiny kernels to puffy cloud like popcorn! We learned that the moisture inside the kernels is the reason that popcorn may or may not pop!

Hope everyone has a great evening!
