Agenda -
- spelling sentences

Math- Today we continued our new measurement unit on area and perimeter. We talked about how to chose a non-standard unit to measure based on what we are measuring. For example if you wanted to measure your desk you would not chose paper clips to complete the task as it would take you a very long time. Instead you would chose something longer like straws. Students had to look at pictures of items in their books and then decide what unit they would use to measure those items with. Students then had to explain in pictures and words what they would chose to measure ME with! Paper clips or straws? Students then got to measure me!
UOI - today we learned about the Shekere, a beautiful musical instrument made out of gourds, used in Africa. Students learned how to pronounce it, how it is made (takes one year to dry out) and how it is played. We watched a short video on the instrument being played, we used tablets to google pictures of gourds and shekeres. Then we began to create our own!
