Yesterday we finished reading our class novel "Polar Bears Past Midnight". Today we did a final reflection and picture and talked about theme and captions.
Today we continued working on Arctic Centres. One area we have been looking at is the map of Canada and where the Canadian Arctic is on a map and a globe.
We looked at an interactive map and then had a chance to label some important parts of our own one.
We labeled The Arctic Ocean, Nunavut, Iqaluit, The Hudson Bay and Baffin Bay. We looked at the Arctic Circle and some other parts of the world that it includes.

Today we practiced solving number line addition problems multiple ways. Ask me to show you:
Temperature
Today we used all of our temperature measurements from different areas around our school. We used our data to fill out 3 paper thermometers. Filling in a thermometer can be tricky because instead of the numbers going horizontal like we are used to on a number line, they go up and down. Also we have not practiced moving by negative numbers. For practice at home I could try looking at a thermometer and recording these numbers on paper.
We compared these temperatures and were tasked with thinking about why the heat energy would be different in different areas around Royal Oak School.
Next week we will graph some of these into our own personal bar graphs as well as measure some more temperatures from outside our school. This should give us some more practice with negative numbers and moving down on a thermometer!!! Thermometers are basically vertical number lines.
