Today we had a Conversation Specialist from the Alberta Wilderness Association speak to us about wolves. We learned a lot of interesting information about wolves. Ask me about something I learned. 

We also continued working on our "measuring for the art show" math investigation. Today we saw a problem with our work from yesterday, we have more than one answer for some of our measurements. As a class we had the opportunity to discuss some strategies for measuring that worked for us. Some of us decided it would also be easier to count by 2's, 5's or 10's as we are counting our cubes. Our challenge today was to go back and check our non-standard measurements. 

It was a challenge for some of us to write numbers larger than 15. This could be something I can practice doing at home. Maybe I can find some items in our house and use blocks to measure, count and record.
