Here is what we did today:

Music: Please see Ms. McMillian's blog for more detail.

Inquiry into Language: Today we had a work period for our speeches.

Recess/Lunch

Inquiry into Math: We focused on elapsed time. Elapsed time is simply the amount of time that passes from the beginning of an event to its end.

Here is a video to help:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orta5xU6DBo

We did a theme park activity, the students had to create a schedule of the day that fits within the hours of operation of the park. The had to have 4 activities, lunch and always include 10 minutes of walking time. This allowed us to explore and practice using elapsed time in real life situations.

French: Please see Mme. Rawan's blog for more detail. 

Recess/Lunch

UOI: To continue our lesson, we watched videos on different human and environmental impacts on these communities. We were really touched by these videos and spoke about what we can do to help. We brainstormed in groups which one we believed was the worst.
