Math: 

We  have begun our new unit on time, temperature and money. Today students learned about temperature by looking at a thermometer. We talked about negative and positive weather and what type of clothing we would wear for each type of weather. As a class we learned how to write temperatures on a thermometer (-20 to +20) and how to show various temperatures on the thermometer. 

Inquiry into Language

Today we completed the pre-assessment for our next Ontario Writing assessment (OWA) this term students are focusing on brainstorming and then writing a re-tell journal. Students were told that yesterday morning they woke up and saw more snow on the ground then they had ever seen before. They then were asked to brainstorm what they would do on a snow day and write it in a journal re-tell. Luckily earlier in the day we read a story about a snow day so that gave us some great ideas. 

Unit of Inquiry -

Today we discussed what endangered and extinct means. We listened to a video that talked about endangered animals, how they became endangered and what we can do to help before they become extinct. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k8CcAU2Lt0

We then watched a short video about the theories of how the dinosaurs become extinct. We talked about how the dinosaurs habitat somehow became unhealthy (maybe from ice, volcanoes, or a meteor) and they were unable to survive.
