Today in room 5:

We began our day with the usual ignite before heading off to the library.

During library the students were able to search for their books and then have some silent reading time. If students have overdue books and cannot find them they will have to be paid for.

Students then went to gym before returning to class for snack.

After snack I gave the students some time to work on the writing of their Instead I project. Everyone is nearly finished their writing and we will be finishing them tomorrow! Next week we will be starting and finishing the second part of the task before we make them into a large book.

We finished our morning off with a science lesson in which we rapidly heated and cooled the classroom. Students worked in pairs to brainstorm ways that we can cool off or heat up a room if needed. Opening windows, doors, fans, air conditioners are all great ways to cool off a building. Fireplaces, furnaces, putting on warm clothes are great ways to fight the cold in a cool building.

In the afternoon we did another skip counting assessment to compare to our previous tests. Some students still need to finish tomorrow before mathletics.

We finished off our day with learning about price differences between Iqaluit and Calgary. It is crazy how different the prices are between the two locations!
