MATH

Today we started division. We looked a ways to help us solve a division problem. We realized that division is related to multiplication. For example 21/7=3 uses the same numbers as 3x7=21. Using multiplication is a great way to check to see if our division answer is correct.

I am sending home the multiplication quiz and rubric from yesterday. Please look over it and sign it. This is not a report card mark. It was based on the quiz, homework, and class work. I was happy with the results. I did go over the quiz with some students in order for them to better understand what the question was asking. Most of the mistakes that were made, were due to students not reading the question properly. 

LANGUAGE

Today was our spelling test for lesson 9. I will mark and give back to the students. 

The rest of the day was spent enjoying International Day! 

Thank you to all your hard work!!

Thank you to all the parents who came out to support the students! I hope you all have a relaxing weekend!!

Thank you to Shrihan for sharing his information on healthy living. I read aloud some of the food post cards and I have to say I was very impressed. I laughed out loud while reading them with the class. What wonderful imaginations some of you have!! We began our good copies, which will be finished tonight for homework!!! For the good copy I am looking for neat writing, proper grammar, a picture, and an address label! The students are aware of this!

Have a great evening!!

Today was our last actually lesson on Multiplication. We revisited the strategies that we can use to solve multiplication problems. Some strategies are using the multiplication chart, drawing arrays, or using simple factors to solve bigger factors! Tomorrow they will be working in groups to solve the “Strategies Toolkit!” Thursday will be a day for a practice test on multiplication. It will be marked just to ensure we understand multiplication before we move on to division. It is not their unit test!
