Language Club, Tie Dye, Math and More!
/The Sea Lions had their first World Languages Club this week and it was heaps of fun! Both our Japanese and French groups are getting ready for a “language tour” of their country, visiting restaurants, parks, zoos, classrooms, cities and more. Along the way, they’re learning basic phrases and fun information about the culture of their country. The Sea Lions were brave and confident as they practiced saying their first words in a new language!
Our New Zealand Sea Lion math group is having great fun learning more about area and perimeter - discovering that a shape can have the same area, but very different perimeter measurements! Our California Sea Lions had the chance to use a protractor as they worked to discover that all triangles have a combined angle measurement of 180 degrees - no matter their shape. Wow!
On Friday we spent time tying our cloth items in preparation for tie-dying. It was fun to complete more complicated folds. The Sea Lions are excited to see how their tie-dyed items turn out!
Finally, we worked together to count up all the food that the ELC has donated to the FGHS Snack Backpack Drive. We had to use some pretty tricky multiplication and addition with decimals to get the total number of ounces donated. We’ll convert our ounces to pounds next week!
