Week Three in Room 7 & 8

We continued to create artistic abstracts for our book covers. We are allllllllllmost finished! We refreshed our memories about mixing colours, which ones are primary and how to make secondary colours. Ms. C has been gracious enough to help us put them all together as well! These covers have been a big job and they are looking amazing!

We continued with our science unit, Waste and our World. We learned about where to put our garbage and recycling and watched a really cool video about how Calgary sorts recycling. We found all of the recycling in our classroom and went around to all of the other classrooms in the school to collect recycling. We discovered that many recycling bins were not sorted properly. We have a big job this year, teaching our school how to be more responsible recyclers!

In math this week we started with learning about place value. Place value is the value of each digit. Each digit in a number has its own value. There are ones, tens, hundreds and thousands. We learned how to show these numbers using base ten blocks and putting them into place value charts.

In gym we played "Tennis Soccer" and a really cool version of dodge ball that Mr. Collins made up and calls it "Super Hero Dodge Ball" it was soooooo fun. We played class against class and we are so good that our game ended in a complete tie!

To top it all off, there was a school popsicle fundraiser and we got to eat delicious, cold, sweet treats.

Until next week, Love,

Room 7 & 8
