In Math today we began Unit 10 Number Sense: Using 10 to Add and Subtract. In this unit, students will use 10 to add and subtract. Students will recognize pairs that make 10 and will identify such pairs to facilitate mental computation. In extensions, students will extend this method to other convenient numbers, such as 20 and 50. They will add and subtract 10 on a hundreds chart and will recognize patterns in such addition and subtraction. They will use the patterns they observed to add and subtract 10 mentally.

In Social Studies, we discussed how the Inuksuk is an important part of the Inuit culture. We made our own Inuksuks.

Wednesday - PINK Shirt Day

This year’s Pink Shirt Day them is is “Lift each other up”; a simple but powerful message encouraging us to look beyond our differences and celebrate the things that make us unique. When we lift each other up, we see past the things that separate us and see instead the things that unite us as people.

MEMORY

Making Friendship Pins

So focused on the Friendship Pin

This crew LOVED going through their Valentine's Cards.

Students were excited to test their Hot Chocolate Containers! The winning Hot Chocolate Container only lost 23 degrees Celsius over a span of 2 hours! So many amazing, creative insulators!

We are preparing to travel to our second Canadian community, Iqaluit, Nunavut! Today we googled the answers to questions we had about Iqaluit! We were shocked to learn TREES NO NOT grow in Iqaluit because of permafrost!

In Math, we are continuing to balance equations. Students used pan balances to illustrate equalities and inequalities and solve simple equations.

We have been researching facts about the Polar Bear. Students are using Google Slides to create a presentation to share their learning.

It's Hot and Cold Temperature Week in Science. Today, students took the Polar Bear Plunge, protected with a large layer of BLUBBER! Through an experiment, we discovered that tin foil is a great insulator!
