Thoughts of the day- March 30

What did we do today?

  • In science we started building our boats.  These boats are our first prototypes and and a lot of groups figured out that four feet of tape is not much!  Many of our boats floated, but sank with the weights.
  • Today in math, we started division.  Some strategies we learned were repeat subtraction, arrays, drawing equal parts, using fact families and using a number line.
  • We played a game called Poachers and Chimpanzees.  There is 5 poachers and they had to pull the chimpanzee's tail and send them to jail.  The other chimpanzees had to rescue the jailed chimps, get their tails back and take them to "Jungle G".
  • In social, we learned about Tunisia's symbols and sights.  Some of these were: a camel, the flag, dates, oasis, date palm tree, a mosque, the minaret, and the coat of arms.
  • We continued to write our spring break riddles and finish our pictures to go with it.
What questions do we have after today?
  • What will be the next game we play in gym?
  • How many boats will stay afloat with the pop can?  For how long?
  • I wonder if we will like the movie more than the book for the City of Ember?
  • When will we start our centers for Tunisia?  How many centers will there be?
  • Will we learn other strategies for division?
