J shows his contraption and the students enjoy a Metis presentationNotices:
Field trip tomorrow. Students will be provided a hot dog, a drink and some small chips. If this is not enough please send along some extra. All those parents who indicated they could attend are welcome to attend.
We began our day in the computer lab as we had to exchange our time to make up for taking over the library after recess for a special Metis Presentation. The students used the time for research into their Provincial project. After computers we had a library book exchange, then we went outside to watch as J showed us a catapult designed by Leonardo Davinci that he and his grandfather built from a kit. After flinging a few rocks around we returned to class.
After Recess we went to the library and listened to a lady from the Metis Nation talk about her people and showed us typical artifacts used by the Metis. The students had the opportunity to handle the artifacts and a few volunteered to try on some the traditional clothing. There is a second part to this presentation next week where we will be making wrist bands in the style used by the Metis.
We returned to the class and continued to work on our Provincial projects. I think they will be due the end of next week on Friday the 27th or possibly extended until Monday the 30th.
After lunch we had 35 minutes of reading followed by P.E. where we played a rousing game of Bench ball with Ms B's grade 4/5's. At 2:05 we stopped to help set up tables and chairs and to decorate the gym with our paintings from yesterday's artReach program for the Kindergarten orientation happening tomorrow.
The last 30 min of the day we dedicated to doing Division questions challenging groups against other groups. The new tricky twist was doing questions like 216 / 2 where they had to figure out what to do with the 1 in the tens position. The trick is to put a 0 above the 1 then treat the 1 and the 6 as 16. Many were able to sort this problem out by themselves.
