This week was exciting and fun!
First off, we did our waste presentations to the school. To prepare for the presentations, we planned with our group members what we would say. Then, we practiced with our groups and in front of our class. We gave each other feedback to improve our work. In our presentations we talked about the 4 waste bins: refundables, organics, garbage and recycling. As a class, we made a target rubric and assessed ourselves on our presentation.
- "I was nervous presenting to the 5/6 class." - J
- "It was pretty hard to remember all of my lines!" -D
- "It was challenging to make eye contact." - M
- "I was happy because I got to present to my last year's class!" -T
- "I felt anxious to be in front of a big class, but after I felt brave and proud!" -K
Secondly, we examined some waste bins in the school. We recorded data with a tally chart. Next week, we will turn the tallies into graphs. You would not believe what we found in the recycling bin in Room 17/18! There was a squished bun, dried bread and juice boxes! We noticed there were MANY items in the wrong bins! We hope our presentations and videos help to teach the school where they should put their waste.
Lastly, we celebrated Halloween! Some of us wore costumes, and enjoyed the popcorn snack! We did learning with pumpkins! We estimated and counted the number of seeds inside different pumpkins. Some strategies we used were putting the seeds into groups and skip counting by 5s or 10s, or counting by 1s.
Have a great weekend!
