 Our day: Literacy - for daily writing we continued on with the next step in our writing process. We verbally shared our writing ideas with a table partner and began to write our draft copy of our narratives. Math - Mrs. Campbell's class talked about capacity today and experimented with pouring liquids into different containers to compare the capacity and volume of different sized pitchers, glasses and bowls. We used the the words greater than and less than to explain the comparisons. Mr. Kai and Ms. Wauthier/Bowles class explored mass and used balances to compare objects. Science - we started a design challenge today. We are creating magnetic toys for the kindergarten students to play with. Students worked on their planning sheet and listed materials they would need to build. If students have materials they want to bring from home to use in their construction they are welcome to do so. PE - we are playing volleyball!
