Today we had our first fire drill of the school year. I was very impressed with the students in our classroom. We discussed our fire drill procedures at length before the drill, however, the students still did a wonderful job of taking the fire drill seriously. Everyone lined up quickly and quietly. Everyone followed the line leader in a straight and quiet line. Once outside, we were able to take attendance and let the office know that we were all together and all safe. Thank you everyone for being so respectful today. It really helps to practice and it was wonderful to see all of you taking it so seriously. 

In Math, the students received their Mathletics usernames and passwords. Mathletics is an online program that students can use at school or at home to practice a variety of Math concepts. In the "Learn" section, students are working on lessons, activities, and tests that correspond to the Alberta Program of Studies. In "Play" students can visit a variety of different areas. Some involve problem solving to solve mysteries or to explore the universe. There are songs ("Times Tables Toons") to practice multiplication. The most popular choice for many students is "Live Math" which allows students to work on increasing their Math fluency (understanding and recall of basic facts) while competing with other students around the world, school, or classroom. We will use Mathletics in school to practice or to complete tasks that I will assign students that correspond with our lessons. I also use Mathletics to assess students on their progress throughout the year. Students are always welcome and are encouraged to use Mathletics at home as often as possible. It is a wonderful way to practice and students can be working at work at their own level, at their own pace. 

In Science today, we conducted an experiment. We wanted to compare changes in air temperature to changes in ground temperature. What we found was that air temperature changes much more quickly than the ground temperature changed. It warmed up much quicker but also cooled down much quicker. Tomorrow we will be discussing our results (we measured the results throughout the entire day) and how they might help us to predict daily temperatures.

In Language Arts today, students continued to work in their Writer's Notebooks. Today we added a "Treasure Map" as well as a "Memory Hand" page. Not all students have completed all pages. We will allow time for all students to catch up this week before we move on.
