The Chronicles of the Sundial
Agenda:
1 - Fun Lunch order forms are due Jan 22
2 - Fun Lunch and Pajama Day are on Jan 26
3 - Learning Celebration will be on Feb. 2nd
Learning Intention
What did you learn today?
We learned how to use a sundial and understood what it was showing us.
How did you show what you learned?
We learned that in order to use a sun dial properly we needed to understand exactly where north is.
We know the sun doesn't move, but the shadow changed positions because the earth rotated on its axis which caused the sun light to cast a shadow in a different spot each hour.
What do you need to learn next?
We would like to use them again after the Spring Forward time change happens and see how that impacts the position of the shadow.

Holding Court...
Agenda:
1 - Determine how you plan to proceed with your research phase and planning of your "What you won't learn in Grade 6 Science" Project.
2 - Edit Fun is Due Thursday
3 - Don't forget your 2$ for your science fair trifold! The school Fair is on Thursday Feb. 9th!
Celebration of Learning is on Feb. 2nd.
Learning Intentions
What did you learn today?
We looked at rounding of decimal numbers today (with Mrs. Osicki)
How did you show what you learned?
We rounded numbers to the nearest whole number, tenth and hundredth. We struggled with knowing which place value to round it to.
For example: 1.35 - 1.4 and 1.34 - 1.3 (5 and above, give it a shove, 4 and below, let it go)
What do you need to learn next?
We need some more practice with rounding and move into the thousandths place.
