Percents, the Hindenburg and Reader's Theatre

Happy Monday, friends of learning!
We our week is already off to a great start!

In Math this morning, we worked at the whiteboards in randomized groups of 3 to draw different scenarios involving percents. Ex: Draw 8 animals. 50% can't fly and 25% have large ears.
What do you draw? How do you know?


In Science, we continued our discussion about 'lighter than air objects' and today we focused on zeppelins - most notably the Hindenburg. We learned how a zeppelin can fly and what changes were made to the construction of zeppelins after the Hindenburg explosion. We also watched a short Mythbusters clip (starting at 33:45) to learn a bit more about what led to the Hindenburg explosion itself.

We ended our morning with our third Reader's Theatre presentation, Comment la tortue a abîmé sa carapace. Bravo: Jaeda, Tayla, Fallon, Deneige, Declan and Rowen!
