It was a great day of learning for Grade 3's and 4's!
All students have made their top choices for their Animal Research Project in science and they'll begin their study of one particular creature this Friday.
In math, Grade 4's are completed work on surface area, while Grade 3's are finishing up with fractions. There will be a quiz for grade 3's on Monday.
We enjoyed a spirited game of "Marking Money" this afternoon, which made connections to Global Citizenship and the host country for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Some students were assigned to the North and others to the South. Their team objective was to colour and cut out as many paper bills as possible in the allotted time. They received several challenges during the game, such as stopping to get water, waiting for a doctor to tend to illness, and paying taxes. The North team members found themselves at a great disadvantage and we had a very meaningful discussion about the inequality that exists in this region.
