We will be going through a practice performance task for numeracy tomorrow. We will begin the actual performance task for numeracy on Wednesday October 1, 2014.
In Math today students used hundreds charts to answer the question:
Starting at zero, what numbers can I skip count by and land on one hundred? Students used a variety of strategies to test and confirm different numbers to try. We then met as a whole class and checked our answers.

In Science we used tuning forks to produce sounds and investigated the question: Do vibrations travel through the air? As well that the object (tuning fork) must vibrate to produce a sound. Students recorded their observations in a chart in their visual journals.
In writing today we all practiced writing the pattern for the story Red is Best. Students had a chance to practice the pattern and share with the whole class.
