Revising

As usual we began our day with math. We solved division problems where the dividend was a bigger number. Students were expected to solve the problem using pictures. We used Base Ten Block pictures to show our work.

In arithmetic, students learned how to do long division where the divisor is a 2-digit number.

In our inquiry unit on story writing, students continued working on their final project for this unit. Some are still writing the first draft of their story. Some are revising some of the big ideas of their stories. Those who took the easy way out in solving the problem in their story were challenged to come up with a better ending. Some students are editing their second draft. Others have begun typing up the good copy of their story.

In language, students finished up working on list 13 spelling words. In language, students learned the correct way to address envelopes when sending letters.

Students attended French, art, and gym class today.
