Learning intentions for our day...

In math we worked on building our understanding of ADDITION using a Frayer Model.  We discussed and recorded the following:
*Definition       *Illustrated  Example    *Real World Applications. *Related Words

In Inquiry today we introduced a number of items to the class and asked them to examine them and look for what they might have in common.  We tried a few ways of categorizing the items and then watched a Bill Nye video to learn a bit about Simple Machines.  Our intention was to be able to name the 6 different simple machines shown in the video!

We began a new focus in Ignite this week where we are doing a number of activities to explore symmetry which we introduced prior to the break.  

Ask me about...

Simple machines!!  How many of the 6 can you describe to your parents?  Can you give an example of each that we use in every day life?  Homework:  Do a scavenger hunt at home to find some other examples and write or draw them on a slip of paper to bring tomorrow!

Reminders...

Please ensure your child is prepared to go outside in this weather.
