All week we have been experimenting with buoyancy. Students have done experiments on the following concepts: 

Waterproofing, Density, Stability & Balance, Displacement, and Load

Anne of Green Gables

Today we finished Anne of Green Gables. Ask your child how it ended, next week each student will write the next chapter.  

Math

We have been exploring the open number line, using blocks to solve subtraction questions. Today we gave the students a couple of subtraction problems such as:

If Mrs. Pepper is 34 and her niece Sonya is 5, how old was Mrs. Pepper when Sonya was born?

Students had to build the numbers out of blocks, record the numbers on paper and then show their strategy for solving the problem.
