We started our day at the white board this morning, working in randomized groups to solve a tricky task. If you had a 3x3 cube and painted the exterior, then once dry, you separated the cube into its individual blocks, how many blocks would be painted on: 3 sides, 2 sides, 1 side, 0 sides? How would this change with a 4x4 cube?
Also in Math, we continued our work with coordinates, learning how to properly plot coordinate points on a Cartesian plane. Coordinate points are written (x,y) which means we travel horizontally first and vertically second. We will continue working on plotting coordinate points over the coming week. This skill will be a great help to us once we start graphing in Science.
In Français today, we worked with Mme Champagne on a text entitled, "Tout sur les tomates." We are using the reading strategy "les 4 fantastiques" to guide our reading. This is the first time we are using this strategy with a non-fiction text. The steps are the same, but our questions and the way we structure our summary
will change slightly.
We are also happy to report that we have one more germinated tomato seed in Group G, which brings the total up to 8. Group H is still holding strong at 7, with the promise of more seeds germinating soon!
