Highlights
What did you learn today?
We learned word work in Daily Five.
How did you show what you learned?
We have a sheet of paper that has letters on it and we have to try to make at least 20 words from the letters and try and find the secret word. After that, we have to sort them according to their word family, then we have to use those word families to transfer our skills to help us spell other words and the challenge is to write a story using all the words.
What do you need to learn next?
We need to try to use the spelling skills from word work to spell correctly in our other work.

Nov 4 - Old, Dusty and Very Heavy!
Agenda:
1 Read 20 mins
2 Scholastic due Nov 14
3 Bring headphones
Highlights
What did you learn today?
We learned about how to be paleontologists. We watched a video about a day in the life of Thomas Carr, a paleontologist. We learned that to find fossils, they walk around a site and try to find things that catch their interest - this is called prospecting. Then when they find a site they map it out with a grid and GPS.
How did you show what you learned?
We took tools out to the Whispering Woods and we built a 2 by 2 array (which was 1 meter squared) with bamboo sticks and string. We then recorded the observations we made in our paleontologist journals that we made this week. Some groups took a GPS coordinate to locate their grid.
What do you need to learn next?
We need to now dig a little bit in our location and try and find some clues about Alberta's past.
