Thoughts of the day- April 28

What did we do today?

• In photography, we learned how to take portrait pictures of people.  Hands should be in the photos!  We had a number of backgrounds set up in the library to take pictures of a partner.  We were asked to take our time as we took pictures of people head to toe, head to waist, a close up and a head shot with hands.
• Today in math we had a division session.  The grade 3's worked on a parrot division activity while the grade 4's practiced their long division skills for tomorrow's quiz.
• This afternoon in music, we had a test on reading notes and had a bonus crossword puzzle about playing the recorder.
• During science, we worked more on our containers and our bridge.  The second part of science focused on our plants.  We learned about photosynthesis and what the plants need to make their own food.  They need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.  They produce sugar and oxygen as by-products.
