Language 

Today students completed their OWA assessment. Students were required to write a letter to Ms. Smith convincing her of their opinion on the best season!

Math 

Today we looked at capacity. We talked about containers and cups. Some of us were very surprised to see that some containers held more water than we thought. Students learned that when a container is filled to the top it means its at capacity. 

Inquiry into habitats -

Today students created their own habitat. They decided whether the weather was hot or cold. Whether the habitat was a land or ocean one. What plants that grew there (some were made up!) What animals lived there (some were made up!) Where in the world the habitat is located and lastly the name of their habitat. 





We ended our day by having gym class with Ms. Yustin, you can check out her blog at https://sjaayustin.blogspot.ca/
