Our fieldtrip to the Elmvale Zoo and Springwater Park is tomorrow! We are very excited about our trip and eager for a day of fun and learning! Here are some reminders of items to bring for the trip:
- water
- hat
- sunscreen (please put it on before you come to school and bring some to reapply as needed)
- proper running shoes (no sandals please)
- a lunch with lots of snacks (there will not be an opportunity to buy lunch at the zoo and unfortunately we are not able to bring the hot lunch orders to the zoo)
- please do not bring cameras or other valuables as we don't want anything to get lost or broken (I will be bringing a camera and students will each have an opportunity to take a picture of an animal)

In math we are learning to make equations. We used a new math tool today called Cuisenare rods to help us explore equations.

Here is a picture of the Cuisenare rods. Each colour represents a different number.

We used the Cuisenare rods to help us make equations. For example, green + purple = yellow + red (3 + 4 = 5 + 2).
