Marble Tracks We have worked very hard on our marble tracks. We made a plan, we did a materials list, we built the tracks we designed and then we started to make adjustments. Our marble track designs accomplished many different things. Some students used different strategies like zip lines, dominoes and catapults. Some rang a bell, some knocked over books and some dropped into a cup. Our grade 8 buddies came and gave us some advice on our tracks to help us fine tune our adjustments. Langevin Island Langevin Island is our cardboard challenge. We started with brainstorming ideas of everything that we would like on our Langevin Island. We then narrowed things down to what we want on our Ultimate Field Study Island. We plan to take all of our ideas and draw a model Langevin Island. Then we are going to build Langevin out of cardboard. Pink Shirt Day On Pink Shirt Day we put on pink shirts to stop bullying. Pink Shirt Day started because a boy was bullied at school for wearing a pink shirt. Two older boys from the school saw this happened and got all off the grade 9 students to wear pink shirts the next day at school. We read the Invisible Boy it was a book about bullying. It taught us not to bully in school and not to exclude others so you don’t make someone feel jealous, sad or left out. We should always include people in your games.
Math Groups
In math groups we were building numbers with tens and ones and working on subtracting and adding strategies. Our strategies include: using a hundreds chart, number lines, base 10 blocks and mental math.
