Inquiry into Language Arts
Today students were told to imagine they were creating a super tablet! What would that super tablet do? Would it hire a maid to clean your room? Would it complete your homework for you if you asked it? How does it work? Does it read your mind? Scan your finger print? Do you speak to it? Do you need to put a secret code in? What does it look like? Does it have a sparkly unicorn on the back or Harry Potter, the Avengers?
Here are some of our brainstorms, tomorrow we will write our explanation:
Math
Students worked on reviewing the standard algorithm for subtraction. Start at the ones, is your top number smaller than the bottom? Borrow from the neighbour! i.e. borrowing

Inquiry into Cultures
Today students continued working on their summative assessments. We talked about requirements needed and how to set up poster boards, scrapbooks, books, and brochures. Tomorrow will be their last day to complete before it comes home for practice.
Our big surprise!
Today we came to school to find our classroom now has a SMART TV! Parents we thank you! Why? When you participate in things like bake sales or the events the parent guild put on (Skate Day, Movie nights, cookie dough sales, cookie decorating, summer fiesta, etc.) this is what comes of it!
