Our busy day today consisted of a lot of work with our Museokit. Tomorrow will be our last day with the kit and students wanted to experience as many of the artifacts as possible. We had a chance to investigate new artivacts at our table group and are becoming quite observant at looking closely and learning from the objects.
Today's activity from the Museokit introduced student Oil and natural gas as two very important resources in Alberta. Students learned about two colourful Maverick characters assiciated with Albera's oil and gas instusry. We also had a chance to study some valuable rock and fossil remains by looking closely at some core samples.
In Math today we continued to work at the Candy factory designing boxes that would hold 6, 12 and 24 candies. Tomorrow students will be writing a memot to the president of the Candy company explaining what they have learned about boxes for each quantity and what shape box they recommend. I am looking forward to their decisions and recommendations.
Question of the day:
What were the names of one of the Mavericks we studied today?
What was your favourite part of working with the museokit?
Reminders
Please work on Mathletics for 20 minutes this evening.
Hot lunch form will be coming home tomorrow so look for it in your child's backpack.
Have a wonderful evening!
