Tuesday May 9th

 Here is the plan for today:


Period 1 we'll do a read aloud (Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH).  Then we'll talk about using prefixes and suffixes to help us solve words.  

Period 2 we'll re-write the 3rd verse of the hockey song, so the game ends in a tie.  Here is us singing it yesterday (original lyrics): Townsend Ave 3.m4a

Period 3 and 4 is math.  We'll be looking at how to read a thermometer, and do some work:

Extra time we'll use to answer questions on prodigy (about temperature).  

Period 5 is gym with Mr. D.

Period 6 we'll hopefully finally watch episode 16 of Read All About It and answer the comprehension questions.

We usually have rich discussions about theoretical vs. experimental probability.  


Period 5 and 6 is Art.  We're going to practise writing our names in cursive (gulp) and then use symmetry to turn our names into interesting bugs.   Like the lady in this video does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kIdlhNl4pQ


Still need about half the Swim to Survive forms!
