Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!!

Science
LO: I can explain how light interacts with a variety of surfaces.
Activity: Today we talked some more about reflection and absorption. We predicted angles of reflection by drawing diagrams on individual whiteboards, and then we watched a short video about absorption. Students each had one Post-It note and wrote something they learned from the video on it. Then, we put our Post-Its on the board and shared with each other. Now we know why objects appear to be the color that they do!
No HW

Reading
LO: I can create a writing piece with the same theme as something I have read.
Activity: We read three short stories and students worked together with a partner to identify the theme. Tomorrow, we are going to write a new story based on one of those three themes, then we will compare our piece with the original to see how the same theme can be approached in different ways.
No HW

Math
LO: I can solve word problems involving time.
Activity: We started out with a fun SmartBoard activity where we were "Math Detectives" using time word problems to solve a mystery. Then, students worked on some word problems that involved elapsed time and time conversions. These are still a little tricky, but I can already tell that we are getting the hang of it!! :)
Homework: Students have a sheet with three word problems for homework
