The class has begun a math unit on measurement The students have collected items to compare length, width and weight. Today they children were introduced to measuring surface area. They found, and compared, the surface area of their chair, a large piece of paper and then their tables.
In the afternoon a group of grade fours came to our class and told us some stories that then had created. The children learned that not all stories come from books, that stories can be told orally and passed on.
