A moment of silence :)

Followers of our adventures might we ask you for a moment of silence for our fallen friend.

This is Tim

2013 RIP

Tim is a marshmallow that has a face. A few of the girls played with Tim and well he dried up and today they had a funeral service for him at recess and asked that I make a note on the blog. 

Now on to our great day. 

Yesterday the kids practiced sorting by properties as we are going to be discussing rocks and minerals and all the properties involved in classification. We started with beads because well they are sparkly and the kids like sparkly things. Most sorted by colour but some ventured into shapes. They decided that the really small ones could just stay together because well they are too little and hard to move but for all the rest we did a great job.

In Social Studies we have been discussing mapping and things like, scale and compass roses. The students have started making a map and will be writing directions to a secret treasure that they will let partners read to find the treasure on the map. They are turning out really well. 

Multiplication and Division began today and Equal Grouping/Equal Sharing will be words we continue to practice :) Maybe the 100 cookies i baked for tomorrows lesson will help :)

Goodnight all and please remember Tim and his mini marshmallows :)

Cheers,

Mr.G
