Marvelous Hot Chocolate Day

In math, we have learned about doubles! We are also going to start a one hundred item project to go with social studies. Can you please bring in 100 items of something that is not breakable (pasta noodles, tiny stones, beads....) so that we can start putting it together.

In science, we did an experiment with hot chocolate. We learned that marshmallows can cover the top of hot chocolate and stops the hot air from coming out. We learned that they are a great insulator!

In social, we we created post cards and wrote about what we learned about the Inuit community. We designed the front by practicing a traditional Inuit art technique which was print making! Ask me what my design was.
.  


We also got to play the grade 3/4's arcade games! The grade 1/2's loved playing them with their partner. They are asking for a $2 donation to help communities who do not have clean water. They are so thoughtful!

100 Days of School!!!!!

Today was our 100th day of school! To celebrate we. . . .


Made hats that had 100 things on them by making groups of the friendly number 10! Ask me to count all of the things on my hat!








Then, we did a math scavenger hunt. We had to color in a one hundreds chart by searching the room for the number and matching the color.






Next we heard the story, The Night Before the 100th Day of School. Then, we got cheerios and had to make a design with all of them!




Last, we completed a booklet about when we are 100 years old. We drew what we would look like if we were 100 years and we wrote about it.







We had so much fun celebrating!

Jumping Gymnasts

This week in math, we worked with Ms. Lana on breaking numbers. First we wrote down a whole number. Then, we predicted how we could break it into two numbers. Then we tested our prediction with counters. Last, we wrote down and published the answer.
