Here's what happened today:
- Opening Exercises - we did a fun crossword that I created, using classmate's names and teacher's surnames
- Spelling - Unit 26 this week. No memory verse test this week, but there is memory verse homework (see the Spelling and Memory page for more information)
- R.W. - we had class time to wrap up Chapter 3 work, including a diary entry from Gladys' perspective. The children had to write about events that happened as well as predict how Gladys would have felt in that situation, which proved challenging for many. I'm eager to read what they wrote, as they definitely worked hard on it!
- Math - the Grade 3's finished their work from last Friday and the 4's worked on comparing fractions with different denominators, but the same numerators. I showed them two ways of figuring this out (using two number lines, dividing them into equal parts using the denominator of each fraction, and then visually comparing which is greater, or using the common denominator process, which is much more complicated, but if they know their multiplication facts, is much simpler and more accurate). This lesson did bring to light just how much some of these students must continue to work on their basic facts, as some don't remember their 3 times tables. Please help with this at home, either via flashcards, websites, or apps!
- P.E. - with Mr. Banman
- S.S. - our study of pioneers continued. Today we focused on how the pioneers built their homes. Ask your child if they remember how their houses were built, and what was at the centre of most pioneer homes.
- Chapel - led by Mrs. Hills
