Learning Intentions
What did you learn today?
We continued to practice our Jungle Safari today. We have done this course in previous grades, so we are being judges for each other as we move throughout the course.
How did you show what you learned?
We alternated from being judges to spies. We practice going around the course and taking the challenges that are part of the course. Some of the most challenging parts are: the pylons with the hockey stick across, crawling through the 2 tables and/or the snake pit, the ladder with the 2 hoops.
What do you need to learn next?
We need to challenge the course form one checkpoint and all the way back to that same checkpoint without any mistakes.

Test Taking Strategies
Agenda:
1) You received the criteria sheet for your Novel Recommendation due Feb. 27th Please refer to this while planning your Novel Recommendation.
2) Teacher's Convention is Thursday and Friday
3) Family Day is on Monday Feb. 20th - No School
4) Anti- Bullying Day next week - get your pink shirt ready :-)
Learning Intention
What did you learn today?
We wrote our Sky Science Multiple choice test today.
How did you show what you learned?
We learned test taking skills such as, tracking the questions so we fill in the correct bubble, determining the 2 'really wrong' answers and the 2 'possibly right' answers, we learned how to trust our gut and choose the best possible answer. We also learned that multiple choice tests can test our science and math knowledge but mostly they are reading comprehension tests. We learned to read each question carefully even if we think we know the right answer.
What do you need to learn next?
We wonder how well we would do on a multiple choice test before we even learn the content. So, for our Air and Aerodynamics unit we are going to do a pre-test to see how well we are able to do.

How did you show what you learned?
We had families and fellow students move from project to project in the gym. When they came to our project they might not have known very much but when they left, they knew lots.
"I really like when I saw the kid's face when I told them a fact, 'Wow! Really!'"
"I loved that my mom or dad was able to make it today."
"It was funny that we had a few technical difficulties this afternoon!"
"I was proud that people like what they saw during my project!"
"We enjoyed putting on this event!"
"I really like the questions people asked, especially the ones they didn't know the answers to."
"It was easier to present to adults than the younger students. The parents actually listened to us and understood all our big words!"
What do you need to learn next?
"Next time I would like to have something for them to touch or do."
"It would be easier to present if it was quieter."
"Next time I would like to add a few more facts."
"Next time we need to stay on time."
Thanks to all our families for joining us today and sharing our learning with us. We had a great time too!
