Today we completed the challenge of measuring the field using our foot as the unit. Ask your student if they remember how many steps it took to measure the field (we had to count in French up to 186!). Also, ask about what you have to be careful of when measuring, whether we are using our feet, toothpicks or rulers... there are a couple things.We also re-measured ourselves and compared our heights with where we were back in September. Everyone has grown between 1 and 6 (!!!) centimetres in the last 7 months.
Since, in science, we are learning that some forms of energy aren't so great because they cause a lot of pollution, we have started imagining what we might invent to help take care of our planet. Each writer has come up with an idea and they are writing about what it is, what it does, what it looks like and how it helps the world. We hope to put all our ideas together into a class book when we're done our good copies! Ask your writer what their invention is.
Our eggs yesterday turned out pretty nicely, but I asked an artist friend of mine to make one just for fun and look what happened... pretty cool eh? Complete even down to the great lakes! I forgot to show the kids today, but I'll bring it again next week.
