Hello all. We're in the final stretch.

In math this week, we worked on a variety of tasks, including geometry. We examined different polygons, named them, and looked at lines of symmetry.

We played a few math games to build number sense and develop critical thinking abilities.

We also worked on another Mrs. Wickland challenge involving last week's field trip to Bowness Park (a useful real-world task estimating how many buses our school needed to hire to get the whole school and staff to Bowness).

In science, students found out we the astronauts we had designed our eco-columns for WAY back in September had made it to planet X-97a, only to discover there was problem. It seemed all the predators had adapted too well and had almost wiped out all the prey. The students were given a new task by NASA: help design new animals that could survive on planet X-97a. Using their knowledge of adaptations and plant and animal life-cycles, students began to plan.

We worked with our grade 1-2 buddies this week, planning healthy meals. We cut out pictures from flyers and glued them into our visual journals.
