MATH

We continued talking division. We continued working with arrays and looking at how multiplication and division are related. It seems as most are getting the hang of division!!

***Unit 4 Test (multiplication and division) will be Monday February 2. If someone is away they will make up the test when they are back at school!!!

Language

Today we worked on spelling lesson 10. The words were written in their agendas and then the students worked on the activates to go along with the lesson. We began talking about our speeches and poems. The grade 3’s will bring their poem home on a nightly basis to read and memorize. Grade 4’s have chosen a topic and began with brainstorming. Devices will be used on a regular basis to help research their speech topic. I am hoping to allow roughly half an hour per day to work on speeches.

I have given each student a letter, schedule, and rubric to take home so you can take a look at it. Please sign the letter and bring it back tomorrow.

U.O.I

Today we began talking about our final project, which is making a restaurant menu. This should be a fun project for all!! We will be working on it all week in class and the final project, if not complete by end of day Friday, will be due Monday February 2.

I have sent directions and a rubric home as well. Please have a look at it. It does not have to be signed! It is just an overview! I am looking for a colourful menu with a catchy name and pictures. I would like 4 appetizers, 5 lunch items, 6 dinner items, 6 drinks, 3 desserts, 3 kids meals, 6 sides. I also need a description and dollar amount for each item.

Have a wonderful evening!

Mrs. Hocevar :)
