Today was Jennifer's birthday!! She really enjoyed having indoor recess today. It was a blue day so we had to get creative about body breaks as we were in the classroom for the whole morning.
Many students started their good copy of their Lorax letter. I was pleased to see many animals and facts about wetlands mentioned and how important it is to protect them.
In math, we explored how multiplication can help with patterns. We created patterns and rules that could be put into a formula to find the 20th term. Then we explored real world problems that this could be applied to, for example, how much video games cost and how much it would cost someone to buy everyone in the class a new video game. This was very engaging as the students have much interest in video games.
After lunch, students calmed down with some silent reading, and then they went to music to play xylophones.
In P.E. they played Drum Fit which was especially exciting! Giant exercise balls were used as a drum and students banged to the beat and danced around the gym to some energetic dance music. Mr. Newton even dressed for the occasion!
The weather should be warming up so be prepared to go outside for recess tomorrow! Happy Tuesday everyone.
