Hello everyone!
We had a great day today. In computers we were able to each do a Science activity. The Gr. 4 students were working on a Light and Shadows activity, and the Gr. 5 students were working on an Electricity activity. The links are below. Students are asked to investigate an incident, and then help to arrest the true criminal in both activities. In order to solve the case they must explore the information, which is all Science related activities. If you want to check them out at home or look at some of the online lab activities, check out the links below.

We also worked on our Mathletics accounts. If you haven’t visited mathletics at home this year, I highly recommend it. Mathletics is an online program directly aligned with our curriculum. Students are able to work through different units, take lessons, get help, look up concepts, do extension activities, practice problem solving, and play live mathletics. I am also able to review students results on lessons, assign extra tasks, extend student work, etc. Plus, students are able to earn points, certificates, and a place in the hall of fame, all while maintaining a pretty cool avatar. All of our students have a username and password in their student agenda. Check it out below:
In Art today we continued with our exploration of watercolours. Today we finished our backgrounds, which required us to practice our wash, and wet-wet techniques from last week. We also went back through and added some images to the forefront. In order to do this, we discussed how important it can be to let the paper dry before continuing a project. Student were also able to explore using the watercolours to add details and different colour values. Our finished projects are posted below, have a great weekend everyone!
