Welcome to our classroom blog

Working with technology and becoming media literate is a part of the curriculum so we've decided to start a classroom blog. Here you can keep up to date with the latest classroom news, upcoming class and school events and homework assignments.

Our new Science unit

Last Friday I was away at another NTIP meeting. I found it very worthwhile as it dealt with technology and special education. I was able to use one of the sites that I learned about today as we played some games about light and sound on the smart board.

Below is a link to some other interactive activities, just click on Light or Sound and it will take you to a list of the activities.

Remember our hands are OPAQUE which means no light passes through them, so we are able to make . . .
shadow puppets!

Yes, we have finally started our science unit about light and sound. First we will be learning about the properties of light and sound, or in other words the things about light and sound that makes it what it is. I hope for us to be able to work through some discovery centers soon. After Christmas break we will start to investigate more about how light and sound are a part of our lives.

Also just a note that the next few days in math we will be reviewing perimeter and area and our test for it will be on Friday.
