Today we: explored how to collect first hand data in math. We tallied how many students preferred a list of favourite fruits and favourite pets, and then we made bar graphs to show the results. After we analyzed the patterns found in fruit to further understand the concept of Fibonacci's sequence. They worked in groups and filled out a chart collecting data on each fruit and their characteristics.
In Science the students were tasked with creating a FlipGrid to explain their food webs which were created before the winter break. This was a chance for them to refresh their memories on the wetlands unit, and to wrap up the unit before we start the next one on Electricity.
In Language Arts, the students are taking their wetland knowledge and constructing an argument in the form of a letter. It is being written to City Council about protecting the wetlands from a hypothetical factory being built in our neighbourhood. They are learning the format of a formal letter, and practicing the formal language used in an argument.
To end the day, we did a refresher on the Zones of Regulation. A social/emotional exercise as well as a body break, students were asked to draw a secret colour from a bin and perform in front of the class what it would look like to be in that zone. This was a task meant to help them recognize what emotions may look like or how it could be presented in a peer.
