Comparing the Past, Present and Future

We need to wear a bright colored shirt for our assembly on Friday. Some colors that Room 2 thought would be good are:
- yellow
-red
-light purple
-green
-orange
-blue

We have been working a lot on adding/combining different digits. Today we learned how to 'trade up' for a 10 rod using units or 1 cubes. We used this skill to help us solve a magic square problem. Our brains hurt from all the thinking we had to do! If you would like to practice some magic squares at home there are a variety that can be found at: https://www.dadsworksheets.com/puzzles/3x3-magic-square.html 

We have been looking at the past, present and future. Today we focused on what the world may look like, sound, and feel like in 3018. We watched a short clip of 'The Jetsons' to give us an idea of some of the differences. I encourage you to have a chat with your child about what they noticed.
Afterwards we did a sorting activity in which students looked at pictures of Metaghan in the early 1900s to compare transportation, shelter, clothing, ways of getting food and fun activities.


3 things we learned today:
1. In Math we learned how to play Magic Square. I had to trade 10s to try and make 15" M.M.
2. In Inquiry we learned what a shelter and a fun activity and what clothing and transportation was a century" J.V.
3. "In gym we learned that sometimes we can play a basketball game in a group of 4 or 10" M.S.

Reminders:
1. Our assembly is this Friday at 10am! We're excited to share our learning!
2. STEM night, next Thursday, December 7th at 6pm.
3. Fun lunch tomorrow.
