Thoughts of the day: November 30- December 2

What have we done this week so far?

  • Today we tasted Peruvian food from the restaurant INTI Modern Peruvian!  We had angel cake, Peruvian fries, roasted chicken with olive sauce and a purple corn drink.  For some of us, the olive sauce added flavour to the fries and definitely the chicken.
  • In art, we did weaving. We painted a paper plate with different colours and patterns and then Mrs. Russell set a spider web on it.  Using yarn, we used an up-down motion to create our pieces.
  • We have started to learn how to round numbers in math.
  • We are wrapping up our study of Peru, so we are feverishly working to finish our centers.
  • Yesterday in science we did a shadow stick experiment where we went out and measured shadows every hour.  At 3:15 pm the shadow was the longest, at 9m 43 cm.  The shortest shadow was 11:15 and 1:15, where they were exactly the same length.  We infer that the shadow was even smaller at 12:15.  
  • Tinsel, the class elf arrived and has hidden on the shelf and behind the trundle wheel.
Questions we have after today?
  • What will the centers be for India and the Rocky Mountains?
  • What will the food taste like for India?
  • What will be our next writing project?
  • Where will Tinsel be hiding tomorrow?
