This week we started a new unit in gym all about skipping. Some of us learned how to do criss-crossing. Also some of us are beginning to try double jumping, which even Mr. Presssey can't do, yet. We like when we skip to music because it makes it more fun.
Early this week we had a guest come in. It was Mr. Guenther's brother and he came in to teach us about the engineering process for Science. He taught us that the weakest part of the bridge is the middle and that you can make your bridge strong by using triangles to make trusses. This reminds us of when we did an experiment to find out that corrugated materials are strong.
We have been practicing taking sketchnotes about different things. This is when we take notes but we really try to include pictures because our brains remember them better than notes. We took notes about what engineers are and what makes bridges strong.
Finally we strated writing our report all about Canada. We used all of our mindmap notes that we have been taking. We also used our Talk for Writing skills to remember how to write a report because if you can say a report you can write a report and that is our motto. We started our writing by making a plan and boxing up our report.
We have been practicing lots of Math and we still need to get better at subtraction with regrouping. We have set a goal for next week. We can help ourselves by practicing at home.
