We had a good time in Science learning about producers, consumers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores and scavengers. We learned a lot of new vocabulary so we played a game of Science bingo to review our new terms. After lunch we compared and contrasted bar graphs and pictographs. During library time, we signed out new books as well as played some new brainteaser games. Last block we learned about sentence beginnings. HOMEWORK Language Arts 1.

We started our morning by reading Howliday Inn. Then we had Science where we reviewed the structural and behavioural adaptations using a new tool called a padlet. In Writing, we read the picture book Owl Moon as it was a very good example of sentence fluency. Then we used these ideas in our writing of "The Dog Ran" alternating between short and long sentences. In the afternoon, Wanny and Grace's mom brought in some snacks in celebration of Teachers Day. Thank you both! Also thank you to the students who brought in cards and gifts. We finished our Friday by going to the Han River to play some basketball.

Today we talked about what our strengths and interests are in Health and Career. We did a three page survey that had a statement such as "I am shy" and we had to choose whether that was "Like Me" or "Unlike Me". It was a good way for us to get to know ourselves. In the morning, we signed out some new books in the library. In the afternoon, some of use presented our Genius Hours for the Grade 5 and 6 classes. The rest of use will present on Monday to our reading buddies. I have some videos of the presentations but unfortunately I could not get all of them. These I have put up privately on YouTube for parents to view here. Thank you Chrissy and Ms. Shack for helping film.

Congratulations to Peter Park, Peter Ku, Olivia Lee and Luke Ku for speaking clearly, with good volume while making eye contact with the audience extra well. After that, we went to the library to work on Genius Hour one last time. We will be practising our presentations tomorrow during last block. At 1:45 P.M. we had a fire drill that went very well. Students were fast and respectful. No one had "hysteria". Before the fire drill, we spent time answering questions about Chapter 1 of Howliday Inn including learning some new vocabulary like "hysteria".

In Social Studies today we had a fun bartering and exchanging goods between "aboriginal" and "european" groups. We learned just how difficult it is to trade without being able to communicate and how the value of things can change because of supply and demand.
