Happy Monday!
Today in ELA, students worked to finish up their dialogue and narration story by incorporating suggested feedback improvements. They are then adding some imagery to their story to complete and present their work.
In math, we are currently working on the multiplication of decimals and will be looking at division of decimals within the next few days. For instructions, please see the following video on decimal operations: Math Antics
During our science lesson today we continued with our weather unit and we reviewed the pressure systems which contribute to the creation of wind. As well, we also reviewed the instruments used for the measurement of speed and direction. Students then had the opportunity to create and test their own wind socks outside.
After testing our wind socks, students expressed the following observations:
· The wind was changing directions a lot – E.d.
· Weather changes very rapidly in Calgary – A.S.
· Once we had turned it the right direction, we got a very strong SW wind – A.Ha.
· The wind would consistently go in the same direction except for a few wind gusts.
· When going slow, it would droop but when the wind picked up, then the sock would go straight out – A.He.
· I liked how the wind socks would lift up because the wind was so strong – A.Ha.
· The wind is coming from different places. Two pressure systems trying to create an equilibrium – A.C.
