Ms. Gray, what's wrong with your voice?!

Great morning in SK. Because Ms. Gray was unable to talk very well today (lost my voice)... we ran morning meeting! We did SUCH an amazing job that Ms. Gray thinks that we should run morning meeting every day!

For language today we worked on our letter Hh. We sounded out words that begin with Hh on our worksheet. For example, there was a picture of a Horse, Hat, House, and Hippo... Ms. Gray was giving out A LOT of stickers today because our friends were so kind to Ms. Gray, asking if she was okay and making sure to encourage each other to make Green Choices! :)

Gym was SO much fun! Ms. Yustin says we had a FANTASTIC day! Ms. Gray was so excited to hear this. After Gym we had indoor recess! We wanted to go outside, but it was raining "cats and dogs" out there!

For Math we practiced our patterns. First we sat in our own personal space, so that we were only looking at our own paper, and we drew a pattern. Once we drew the pattern, Ms. Gray had us identify the pattern AND circle the core! After this we worked in partners to practice our patterns.

During our UOI today we did a few things... we used our senses to do our experiment for the science fair but we also finished up some of our fall work! We framed our beautiful artwork for the hallway! :)

When we did our first trial of our experiment, we could not contain our excitement!! :)
We used the scientific method: What melts ice the fastest?
Our hypothesis was: apple cider vinegar/ salt/ sugar/ water/ oil melt ice the fastest...
We did the procedure, and found that SALT was the fastest to melt the ice!! None of our friends had a hypothesis to say that Salt melted ice the fastest.
We can't wait to do our next experiment! :)
