This morning we challenged ourselves to fill in mystery message words without any word wall cards to help us. We listened to the well-known song, "If I Had 1,000,000 Dollars" and each received a (fake!) $100 bill. We examined prices in various flyers, then wrote and drew pictures to show what we would spend our $100 on in visual journals. We noticed that stores are sneaky -- they will use the cents in prices like $9.97 to make it look like things are cheaper than they actually are! After recess we were word detectives in our two 100th Day poems, and celebrated national Curling is Cool day in phys ed. In the afternoon the students had French, then we went to see our buddies for a science-related activity. We did a blindfolded trust walk with our grade 3/4 buddies, and the students had a lot of fun! Afterward we learned more about our sense of sight with a non-fiction book to share. We finished the day with some finish-up time and a math game, "Race to 100."

Daily Challenge
It was a lot of fun and super interesting to do a blindfolded trust walk with our buddies! We did this to explore how we use our sense of sight, and what other senses you might use more without it. What did you observe or notice that you normally might not when using your sense of sight as usual?
