Wednesday, November 6

Our morning work today today was:
1.  Multiply 327 x 28.
2.  Add 54 396
3.  Divide by 3
4.  Subtract 12 243

In literacy, Ms. Steeves read us the story, "Gleam and Glow".  As she was reading, we recorded our thinking (connections, inferences, questions, visualizations) on sticky notes like Ms. Steeves did last week when we read "Duncan's Way".  When we were finished the story, we chose some of our stickies and wrote about them in more detail.




In science, we learned about fingerprints.  We learned that:
- our fingerprints are formed when we are in the womb
- sweat and oil on our fingertips leaves a fingerprint on surfaces we touch
- all fingerprints are unique
- fingerprints help us grip and hold onto things
- fingerprints can help identify a suspect in a crime
- there are four main types:  arch, tented arch, loop and whorl
With a partner, we lifted our fingerprints.












We each looked at our fingerprints and determined which of the 4 types they were.  We collected all of this data in a graph and drew some conclusions.
- No one has all four fingerprint types
- Loop is the most common fingerprint type
- Everyone has at least one loop
- Tented arch is the least common fingerprint type

- Not many people have an arch

We will be using this data tomorrow with some graphing.

Reminders:
- Return Friday Journal 
- Return field trip forms ASAP.  The preferred method of payment for the $6 is through your child's My CBE Account.
