This morning we started the Amazing Race! Our first task was to earn plane tickets to fly from Calgary to Lima, Peru. In order to earn these tickets, we had to work with our team and use an atlas or world map to identify:
a) What continent Peru is on
b) What ocean borders Peru
c) What countries border Peru
We only had 15 minutes to complete this task! Lots of us were very excited! We made backpack folders that we will keep our assignments and tickets in for our travels. Keep checking back to see how we move along in the race!
In math we continued to work on multi-digit by single digit multiplication. We will be having a test later in the week on these skills so please make sure you are practicing!
In science this afternoon, we got a new client to help out. They are building a playground. In the center of the playground will be a climber shaped like a rainbow. Our client wants to know if how wide the base of the rainbow (arch) is will matter or change how much weight it can hold. Today we tested an arch with a base that was 20cm wide. Tomorrow we will test 30cm wide and then make a decision to tell our client.
If you have not already done so, please return the orange volunteer forms for Aggie Days by tomorrow! We are hopeful that we will receive enough volunteers among the 3 classes to be able to go.
Reminders:
- Pillars of Care assembly is on Friday
- Early dismissal on Friday
- Jump rope for heart envelopes due Friday
