Wednesday Sept. 16

 Today in Physical Education we continued to get ready for the Terry Fox run by practicing our running.

In writing Ms. MacDonald's class worked on their memory pockets. They listened to Wilfred Gordon McDonald Partridge then shared some of the memories they have. Take sometime to share some of memories with each other.

In math we practiced counting by 5's. Tonight you can practice counting by 5's with me. Here is a song to help.

In math we also looked closely at patterns. We came up with a class definition of a pattern and then looked at what an attribute is.

Can you tell me what the attribute(s) of these patterns are (what characteristics are the same)?

In science we started learning about the different types of magnets. We learned what a horseshoe, wand, bar and ring magnet are. We also learned that they have a North and a South Pole.
Mrs. Taylor's class did a mini experiment. We created a scientific page and recorded what items we thought would be attracted to a magnet: nail, metal lid, cork, plastic spoon and the top part of a pencil.
What did I learn from this experiment? What is attracted to a magnet?
