Our day in our words....

- During ignite I played with some building materials and created a dinosaur and some people.

- During PE we played a fun game called Rock Paper Scissors.  It was challenging and fun.

- We then switch into snack.   We did a mini-lesson on Non-fiction and Fiction.

- In Daily 5 I read to a buddy for the first round and then read-to-self.

- In Math groups I was working on making word problems involving addition and subtraction.   We did this with Mrs.  Danchuk.

- In Inquiry we looked at other peoples artwork and then went into groups to look at different types of buildings and homes.   We decided if we liked or disliked it.   We then had to say why.


Reminders.....

-  Tomorrow is Friday.   School is dismissed at 12:05pm.
-  Dress for the weather.



Ask me about...
Ask me about the word modern.  What does that mean?  How would you describe a 'modern' building?  Is it about design or age?  

Friendly reminder.....we have learned A LOT of math games to help us review and practice subtraction and addition.  These are easy games to play at home.  Teach one of them to your parents tonight.  All you need is dice!!!

Games:

Roll to 100
1 When it is your first turn, roll the dice any number of times.
Mentally or on paper add all of the numbers rolled for all your dice rolls. Enter this as your score for Turn 1.
If you roll a 1 at any time, your turn is over. Enter 0 as your score for Turn 1. 
2 When you take another turn, roll the dice any number of times. 
  Start with your score from the last turn and keep mentally or on paper adding on all of the numbers you roll. Do this until you stop rolling the dice. Enter your final sum as your score for this turn. 
  If you roll a 1 at any time, your turn is over. The score you enter for this turn is the same as your score on the previous turn.
3. The first player to score 100 or more wins the game.
