Wonderful Wednesday

This morning the students completed the Wednesday portion of the vocabulary sheet for our word of the week, observe.  Then, they used an online site top practice making words, since it is Word Wednesday.  After the announcements, we switched for math.

We began math with a multi-step word problem involving, multiplication of fractions, division, subtraction, and logic.  It stumped most of the children but provided a lot of good teaching moments.  After that, we reviewed last night's homework. 

Then, the students took a quiz covering the multiplication of a whole number by a fraction.  These have been scored and returned.  Look for them in the math section of your child's binder this evening.

After enjoying lunch and indoor recess, the math students completed a session of Xtra Math and then we used a Kahoot game to practice solving math word problems.

There is NO math homework this evening since we won't be switching for math until January 2.

After math, we participated in a science lesson and follow up activity using the web site, Mystery Science.  First, we watched a video lesson explaining why snow is white.  Then, the students participated in a hands on activity examining how they could make a transparent item become less see-though.

Next, we ate snack and shared more paper bag projects.

We ended the day with a cultural arts assembly.
