Tuesday, November 5th 2019 - Day 5

- We read the book Le chien du soldat. Students answered comprehension questions about the story and identified symbols of war and of peace in the book. Students then create art using pastel chalk to represents symbols of peace and war. Students choose colours that would emphasize the symbols.
- As a class, we complete a demonstration of the effects of a short circuit using a closed circuit with steel wool. Ask me about how friction plays a role in the burning of the steel wool! Then students applied what they have learned about open, closed and short circuits. They worked with a peer to create a game. Ask me about the game!
- Students also went to physical education, music and participate in a rotation of literacy centers.
