Welcome back from Spring Break! Today we started a new unit in Math that will have us dealing with statistics and probability. We played a game involving 6 sided dice and figured out if the game was a fair game, with an even chance for both teams to win. It was a fair game, there are 18 ways to roll evens with 2 six sided dice and 18 ways to roll an odd number.
We also started a unit in science called classroom chemistry where we read about mixtures and pure substances, we also talked about chemical changes being very hard to undo looking at cookie dough turning into baked cookies is a chemical change, and we can know that because it is essentially impossible to turn cooked cookies back into dough.
We ended our afternoon playing a game from the indigenous peoples of the pacific coast in Canada and and United States called Lahal.
It is an exciting time as the weather starts to warm up, make sure students come to school ready to have recess outside in the rain or snow.
