This morning we began to research Alberta's Grassland Region.  We used a social studies textbook called Our Alberta.  We were introduced to various text features on nonfiction books.
Ask me what a Table of Contents is? and the difference between a Glossary and an Index.

Two things we learned about the Grassland Region are:
- it is usually flat with a few grassy hills
- hoodoos are a unique landform in the SE quadrant of this region.

We did a Science experiment this afternoon.  We had to use a variety of classroom materials to direct light around barriers to light up a target.
Ask me if I was successful.  If I was, what worked?  If not, what would I change next time?
