This morning was our last morning that we were given to work on our science presentations. Students will need to finish the last touches during reading or catch up time. We scheduled presentations to begin on Wednesday and will be presenting each day until next Tuesday. Some students have brought their projects home with them. Please make sure these make it back to school...especially on the day you are presenting!
In math today we started working on adding decimals. We found this was an easy skill to do since it builds off our previous knowledge about adding. The only thing we need to make sure we do is to line up the decimal points and use zeros as place holders if needed. We will continue to work on adding and subtracting decimals later this week.
This afternoon we began an art project for the volunteer tea. We used the animals from our research projects and drew either their heads or full bodies on watercolour paper. Afterwards, Ms. Binks made a mixture of white glue and black paint. We used paintbrushes to go over our pencil lines with this mixture. On Wednesday we will add watercolour paint to the background. So far they look great so we can't wait to see the finished product!
Tomorrow is our field trip to the zoo. Students who did not return their permission forms will be staying at the school in another classroom. The bus picks us up around 9 so parent volunteers please come any time around 8:45. Here are some things you need to know:
- It is supposed to rain tomorrow so please dress appropriately for the weather! We will be going rain or shine. Students should have appropriate jackets and footwear for the rain.
