| Bell, "Let's Talk" - "When it comes to mental health, every action helps." We are wearing our hats today to show we care and that a small action can have a BIG impact. It is important to take care of ourselves and others. How? - call a friend and tell them you are thinking about them - do something for you (colouring?) |
 |
| Starting our research to build our understanding and background knowledge of the different regions of Canada. Do landforms impact who lives in each region? Do resources impact who lives in each region? Who does live in each region? What are their stories? How did they, "Say Something"? |

Buddies
Math

| Buddies! We read the story, "The Good Egg" and continued our conversation about looking after ourselves and our mental health. We used our thumbprints to create pictures that showed the things we do or can do to take care of ourselves. |

| Grade 5 investigated volume today. We learned that volume is how much space something takes up in 3-dimensions. It is also measured in cubic units (i.e., cubic centimeters, cubic meters, etc) Students built an object that had a volume of 10 cubic units. Are all of these objects accurate? That is, do they all have a volume of 10 cubic units? How do you know? What is your evidence? |
Grade 4 investigated prisms. They talked about how about how a 2D shape is different from a 3D shape. Then they talked about how a prism is named. Students predicted which 3D shape was a true prism - one idea shared was that a prism has 6 faces, and another thought shared was that a prism has a rectangular base. After viewing a brief video students learned the three properties that a prism has:
1) parallel and congruent faces
2) cross section looks like the bases
3) named for the base shape
