We only have a few letters left for cursive writing and then we will start writing a quote of the day for our Daily Warm Up! In our journal today our writing prompt was...
Family Day is a great idea for a holiday because...
Some of us are finishing up our Valentine Magic Box of Chocolates writing.

In Math we did our daily word problem - we had extra valentine problems so are still working on them! Ask me how many grams are in one kilogram? Do you know about how many grams are in one pound
We were also working on multiplication arrays. 
For example, an array is a picture of 2 groups of 4 circles. That would be the same as writing 2X4=8.
Then using white boards and 2 cards we made an array and turned it into a multiplication sentence.

This week we will be eating lunch in our classroom because for gym we are doing Jungle Safari!
It was fun! We had to be quiet. PS. No wild animals, only wild kids!!

For technology and science, we worked on our bridge slide shows. Each group had to choose a different kind of bridge in Calgary and research to find facts about it. We will all need another day to work on our slide shows. 

TOMORROW we are walking to Simon Fraser for the afternoon 1:00-3:00pm. Other years, Simon Fraser students have come to Dr. Coffin. This time they will be hosting us and be like our "big-big-buddies". We will be divided up into smaller groups to read together, play table games, and do team challenges. Thanks for dressing warm for our walk!
Parents are welcome to join us for the afternoon (or even the walk to and from) if you are available. 

On Thursday from 10-11am, University of Calgary students will be coming to give a presentation about how to build a Solar Car! We will get to go outside and take a look at a real Solar Car - cool! (or should we say - hot stuff!)
