Our class went to Stanley Park and participated in an educational program on the little brown bat. Our guides from the ecology center were very knowledgeable and had some neat exercises to help solidify our knowledge of this variety of bat. At the end of the visit, our guide let us view and touch a preserved little brown bat specimen, pictured below.
Our Halloween celebration was its usual loud, costumed fun. Students paraded around the gym to show off their costumes and then danced to the Casper Slide. I will post some pictures next week.
In the afternoon, students worked on these Halloween Math problems:
Bob and Joan went to the pumpkin patch.
Bob bought a pumpkin that weighed 27 kg.
Joan bought a pumpkin that weighed 32 kg.
1) About how much do the pumpkins weigh altogether?
2) Which pumpkin is heavier? How much heavier?
3) They brought a wagon to carry the pumpkins. It can carry a maximum of 55 kg. Will both pumpkins fit?
4) Pumpkins cost 99 cents per kg. About how much do the pumpkins cost altogether?
5) They bought the pumpkins with a $100 bill. About how much was their change?
6) There are 7 rows of pumpkins at the farm. Each row has 9 pumpkins. How many pumpkins are on the farm?
Tonight is the Halloween Howl put on by the PAC. If you are planning to attend, I hope you have a great time.
Happy Halloween Division 5!
