What in the world is refraction you ask? Well these grade fours can sure tell you. Each student brought a different liquid and we compared the angle of refraction and drew about it.

Man! Get a load of this guy's ears!!! Science in grade three we are learning the parts of the ear, and grade four the parts of the eye. All to do with sound and hearing and lights and shadows. Last week we started talking about refraction - a pretty huge concept to break down (haha pun intended!). this week we will take a look at how light is refracted and what colours make up light. Maths these days we are wrapping up our unit on multiplication and division - and becoming total rock stars at knowing the multiplication table. We will be reading some more of our novels and Charlotte's Web and researching our animals and starting to put some information on them. Well like the rest of the world, it seems I am susceptible to getting sick as well. I feel it coming on. This is no bueno. Today we started researching animals for Peru and Alberta. Students are very excited about this! I am too ! I love throwing in some creative way to display work - like the shape of an animal. Gets all sides of the brain thinking. Here's what people are doing so far. Links to get information about the animals are also posted. I dont know what got into the juice in this room but it has been crazy. Today we did poetry and I LOVE reading student's poetry ! I think it is quite possibly some of the most beautiful literature. I received beautiful spring flowers and with the help of some students I may not have to reveal how non-green my thumb is. Other than that.. please just enjoy the pictures and see the smiles. I think we had fun today and before a weekend I like to think students leave with a smile and a desire to come back for more grueling work. Hello Friends ! So today was jam packed! I feel like since January has started we have all been learning so much suddenly! It's a really great feeling. So we have been learning about hearing and sound and today we used tuning forks to learn about vibrations and frequency. Ask us about this ! Grade fours are learning about the eye and how we receive light. Today we watched some cool videos on plankton in learning about luminescence. Can you find any other videos or other things that are luminescent? Well Friends! A new year has arrived! It is 2014 - filled with hopes and wishes and lots of positive things to come. Including this amazing blog post :)
So here it is: Today we talked. We reviewed the school rules, to ensure we kick off the new year being mindful of our rules. We also shared things we are looking forward to today or that we appreciated today. Many awesome things were said today. I really appreciate how you all shared something and were so quick to think of something to share. While it was a loud and busy day -it was really awesome to see you all again... crazy how much you have all grown (well most of you, heehee) ! See you tomorrow :) |
