Math Math Everywhere!


 
Today some students shared items that were important to them.
 
As a class we talked about how people use math to build things such as bikes. We've been learning about multiplication and division, and this was a great way to apply math to real life experiences!

Iceland



 
One of our classmates had a family member recently visit Iceland and these were some of the cool things she brought back to share with our class! :)

Dear students/parents,

My apologies for the delay on updating our classroom blog. It has been a busy time of year with all the sports and activities taking place at our school! This year many of our teachers have provided great opportunities for many students to participate in extracurricular activies. (Jr/Int Soccer, Track and Field, Ultimate Frisbee, etc.) Thank you for all the families who have been supportive and thank you in advance for  your understanding. I hope to keep families updated (through our blog) on upcoming events and activities happening in our classroom! :)

Sneak peek!
 
We just finished our unit on money and we're beginning to learn about multiplication and division!
 
Some students brought in coins from around the world. :)
 







 
 
In social studies we are learning about all the continents and oceans, and how climate affects the way animals and humans live.
One student brought in a deer antler she found in northern Ontario. This week we explored a world map and talked about how different animals can only survive in certain parts of the world. We were quite curious about the Komodo dragon! Below is a picture a student found online and wanted to share. :)

 
 
In language and science, we are busy bee's working on our STEM project for our exciting Arts and Technology Showcase on May 26th!
 
Can you spot any simple machines?
 



 
 
We are also growing beans for our rooftop garden!
