After last recess, we were talking about the North, and how they're outside all day, and what they would use to see outside with the sun. We were guessing what we think they would use, and Kurt drew it up on the board, and then Mr. H. showed us an actual picture of what it looked like. Then we made our own, and went outside and tried them out. - Jenna
At lunch, we had pizza, and I had three pieces of pepperoni. We had carrots and peas, and we had some in Science and Social Studies, too. It's a congratulations gift from Mr. H. for doing fractions to get the pizza. - Alexandra
Today at lunch, we got to have pizza from Pizza Pizza, and I had pepperoni. Me and Kurt wanted meat lovers, but we got pepperoni. I had three pieces, and Mr. H. also got some veggies, and there were carrots and peas. We had the pizza because we were doing fractions and decimals, and we had to do fractions with the pizza to figure out how much we needed. - Evan
Thanks to the hard work of the students, through their real-world use of adding and subtracting fractions, we had our fractions pizza party today. Fun was had by all, and I'm pleased that they've learned how Math isn't just something we just use in school, but a tool they can and will use today, and for the rest of their lives.
The students also got a chance to make and use snow goggles. We have been talking about light in Science, and we're talking about Canada's North in Social Studies, so it was a perfect tie-in. The class discussed and tried to problem-solve how the Inuit of long ago would have protected their eyes from the sun and the glare off of the snow and ice, without the benefit of sunglasses. They were impressed by how well some of their snow goggles worked when we went to try them out (especially the ones who were really careful to only cut very thin eye slits).
