Hot Chocolate & Robotics

This week we have been practicing how to write instructions that are:

- in order
- clear
- and make sense

Students have practiced this many times throughout the week, and today we used our instruction writing skills for two different learning activities. We wrote instructions for How to Make Hot Chocolate. Check out the Student Work tab to see some examples! Then, as a class we got to follow our steps and make hot chocolate!

Later in the day we went to the Learning Commons and used our instruction skills for some robotics activities. It is really important to have instructions that are in order, are clear and make sense so that the robots can follow them. We will be continuing our work with learning some basic Robotics skills for the rest of December, and then be completing a project in January that builds off of our skills!

Warm Feet for the Street Campaign

Hi everyone,  I have had some of you ask about the Warm Feet for the Street Campaign that the Ambassador Club students are organizing and that all grade 4 classes are participating in. If you would like to make a donation we would love to take it. We are accepting donations until Dec. 13 so that the students in the Ambassador Club have time to stuff the socks. We have had a generous parent donate approximately 90 pairs of socks so we are needing stuff to put in them. Please click on the link for items the Mustard Seed accepts for this campaign and items they don’t accept. Thank you in advance for your continued support of our initiatives. This is a great way for our students to give back to our larger community and provide some warmth for those less fortunate this holiday season.   Here is the link should you wish more information as well as a wish list for donations: http://www.theseed.ca/assets/files/pdf/christmas_project/Warm%20Feet.pdf Thanks,  The ...

Ones & Tens

Today in math we explored the idea behind ones and tens. We talked about how many ones can actually go in the ones place (no more than 9!) and why we have to change them out to the tens when it becomes 10. We practiced creating numbers to 50 today using the ones and tens blocks. Check out some of our work!  Making the number 10 Making the number 17 Making 22
