Whoa. These things melted just from being in the sun! How hot do you think it was when they melted?

These pictures were taken when the outside temperature got up to 120°F (48°C)!

Here's one last surprising thing about heat! What do you think will happen once the candles are lit?

Are unicorns real?

Why do some rocks look like a sponge?

I’m where things are in order, but also seemingly out of order.

I'm where yesterday follows today, while tomorrow's in the middle.

What am I? (Mr. G's hint - This is a 'noun' that we had in our classroom!)

Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue! is an educational computer game, for children ages 7 to 14, developed by The Learning Company and Sculptured Software in 1989. Play Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue! online!

Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue! game description

By 1989 The Learning Company had already established several successful educational game franchises such as the Reader Rabbit series and the Carmen Sandiego series.

Midnight Rescue! was the first entry in the Super Solvers series of critical thinking and reading comprehension games.

The main focus of Midnight Rescue! is deductive reasoning, as to discover which robot is the Master of Mischief you must deduce the answer from facts and clues you find in the game.

The original release of Midnight Rescue! was targeted at 7 to 14 year old children, though when Midnight Rescue! was re-released in 1995 the box displayed "ages 7 - 10".

All of the games in the Super Solvers take place in a fictional location named Shady Glen. Midnight Rescue! takes place at the Shady Glen School.

The Master of Mischief is planning on making Shady Glen School disappear! He has invented disappearing paint, and turned five paint brushes into robots to paint the school at midnight. The Master of Mischief himself is disguised as a robot, and it is your job to find him. Hidden throughout the school are clues which reveal his whereabouts. Robots are placed in the school to slow your progress, some of which may even contain clues themselves. You carry a camera with you to take a picture and examine dangerous robots closer.

We're doing to be making a mindfulness style of art called 'zentangles' today (and tomorrow)! Here's an introduction to what zentangles are...

Website Introduction with Examples - https://zentangle.com/
Video Introduction - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yBGVONBOKU

Here are the materials you'll need today...
1. A small sheet of paper
2. A pencil, a thin (dark coloured) pen or marker!

We'll be creating a picture with no 'up' or 'down' that's incredibly 'abstract' (meaning that it's clearly not one single thing, such as an item like a car or plane)! A zentangle is a series of patterns you make to help you relax, all within a pre-made (before you start drawing) border. We're going to be repeating these patterns over and over, hoping to create a 'flow state' in which you get lost in your drawing. It's helpful to have music on while you're doing this! (Here's some music I use to help me when I'm making zentangles... https://youtu.be/taJ7Rb3qgi8 .)

What you'll be making today (and tomorrow) and turning in on Edmodo in our Visual Arts section (either by a scanned drawing, a photo, or an electronic link, like Sketch Toy) is your own personal zentagle. All it needs to recognizable, repeated patterns inside a clear border, drawn in a dark colour that flows from pattern to pattern. I've attached some pattern examples below!

Bon mercredi!

This announcement is to let you know that we will have a Google Meet this Friday, May 22nd at 10am.

During the meet we will be taking up this week's work together. I can also answer any questions you may have from this week or any of the previous weeks. Last, but not least, we will all be able to reconnect again (virtually) in French.

I am so looking forward to seeing all of your faces again!! Even if you haven't been able to do all of the work up to now, I still encourage you to join.

The meet will be held in google classroom (because Brightspace is linked to Team meetings and I don't want to throw too many new things your way, so I will keep our online meetings consistent with what most teachers are doing).

If you are not yet part of the Grade 4 French google classroom that we had been using before March, this is the class code: toozdjh

Finally I would like to go over some considerations/ rules:

- please have your microphones off, unless you are speaking (this cuts out on background noise)

- listen to the speaker and give everyone a turn

- only speak when it is your turn to share/ contribute

- be kind, we are all new with Google Meet

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ON FRIDAY!!
