Learning Commons Day!

Today we had class in the learning Commons because we were getting new lights in our classroom.  The new lights have a dimmer switch so we can choose how bight we want the lights to be. 
We talked more about things that we need and things that we want.  Some of the things we needs are food, water and air.
Daily 5 was fun because we got to use the whole learning commons.  We made our word card words with magnets on the green chalk board and took a selfie with our words.  In work on writing we are now able to write 3 or more sentences. 
We practiced skip counting by 5 today and we know when we skip count by 5 the number either ends with a 0 or a 5. 

We Saved Zero the Hero!

Today was 100 day we did some centers to try to save zero the hero.  He was kidnapped by agent 99 and we needed to save the day. 
One center was make a "hot on the trail" mix with 100 snacks.  We found some finger prints on cups and we tried to get the finger prints off the cup with tape and put them on a black paper.  We built a structure with 100 cups and we needed to work as a team.  We needed to bowl and see if we could knock 100 pins down.
We had lots of confidential envelopes delivered throughout the day.  each envelope had one word in it and the words made the sentence that said "You will find Zero the Hero where you like to play" .  We went to the gym and found envelopes with a note that zero the hero was safe but we just missed him as he had to go to another hundreds day celebration.  We worked hard and had lots of fun 

How are Rainbows Made?

Today we finished our magic school bus video about rainbows. We know that when the white light goes into the prism the light separates into the different colours of light.  We wrote a sentence about how to make a rainbow. 
We made a Valentines Day card for our family member about all the things we love about being apart of our family.  We did Daily 5 and some of us are getting getting very good at writing more than one sentence when we are at work on writing.  We went to the library and we got to look at the books and some of us even bought a book.  It is like our library is a book store!
We practiced skip counting by 10.  We know that when we skip count by ten all the numbers end with 0.  Tomorrow is Valentines Day and we are excited to try friendship fruit salad and hand out our valentines.

We love Olympics

We did daily 5 today.  In wet dry try we were focusing on letters like p, g and y that go into the basement.
We watched a magic school bus video about how to make a rainbow.  We know that the color we see when we look at things is the color that is bouncing back to our eyes.  They talked about the spectrum of light that makes a rainbow. 
We made a video about the heart art that we made.  In the video we talked about how to make light and dark colors, about transparent and opaque colors and sorted colors by light, medium and dark. 
We talked lots about the Olympics today.  We learned that they only come once every 4 years and people from all over the world that speak different language go there.  We watched a bit of ski racing today and we were all cheering for Canada.
