A Note from Ms. Hayward

Math
Today we reviewed what capacity meant. Then we gathered together at the carpet to look at the 2 containers we had. One was circular and one was triangular. Students had to guess which one they thought would hold more or which had the highest capacity. Then we filled the containers one at a time and recorded their capacity. We discussed how 1000 mL can also be said as 1 L. Then the students had to use our findings to say which one had the highest capacity and then put them in order from greatest to least.

UOI

Today we began working on our summative projects! Students were reminded to include only the things that could be found in their animal's habitat. We went on a nature walk where students could collect things to use in their diorama. They collected, sand, rocks, grass, and other items to include. Then we began constructing the dioramas. They are doing a great job so far. If your child has not yet completed their research package, please have them done by tomorrow. 

Have a great evening!

A Note from Ms. Hayward

Math
Today students were introduced to mass and capacity. We brainstormed as a class the meaning of both concepts. Mass is the amount of matter inside an object (how heavy something weighs) and is measured in grams and kilograms. Capacity is the amount a container can hold, it is normally measured in units such as millilitres and litres. Then children brainstormed times at home and at school when the capacity and mass of items are measured. Then they recorded the items that they measure.

Unit of Inquiry

Today we watched a video that talked about the different animals and plants we find in the rainforest. Then as a class we came up with a list of each one. Then students had to choose 8 of each to copy onto their sheet. Then they began drawing the rainforest and had to make sure to include the appropriate animals and plants that belong there. Then we talked about the new summative that we will be beginning tomorrow. Students picked the animal they wanted to research and will be building a diorama of its habitat. Students are asked to bring in a shoebox and the necessary materials they need to start building tomorrow during class.

Have a great evening!
