Yesterday was our trip to Telus Spark. ❇  On our field study:

• we learned what a cam is and what it does
• we got to make our own cam with different types of materials and tried to design it so it would move up, down or sideways
• we learned that different shapes can allow our designs to move in different ways
• we got to see the Body World's animal exhibit
• we got time to explore the other exhibits with our groups

Today we had a guest speaker that talked about gears on a mountain bike and how the different gears allow the rider to move at different speeds and require different amounts of work (effort).  We tried a new Number Talk in Math where we tried to figure out why each number from a set of 4 did not belong.  Ask me about it.  Finally, we rotated to the next task in our wheels and rollers exploration.  Ask me about the task my group completed today.  🎡

Notes:  Some students requested that the deadline for book orders be extended.  If you would like to place an order please do so tonight (online) or send your order with your child tomorrow 📚

Several students in our room have overdue books.  Please remind your child to return their library books this week if they are finished with them or renew them if they would like more time to enjoy the book.
