We have begun focusing on what the = sign means in Math. Many of us believe that it means 'total' or 'answer'. Today we did an activity using a balance scale to help us understand that = means 'the same' or 'equals'. We were also introduced to the ≠ sign as well. We will use these understandings as we move forwards with addition and subtraction using higher numbers.
During Science we tested 4 different materials to find out if they were absorbent or not. Wax paper, cotton ball, paper plate and styrofoam. We found that wax paper was the only material not absorbent. Tomorrow we will look at why.
We ended our day making Kindness bags. These bags will stay in our classroom to be filled with 'caught with kindness' slips. Every time someone catches us doing something 'kind' we will receive a kindness slip!
Reminders:
1. We are still needing 1L and 500ml plastic bottles. If you have some you could donate, we'd appreciate it!
2. We are doing our Valentine exchange on Wednesday, February 12th. Please ensure you have a Valentine for every student in Room 2.
