This morning, Ms. Chin and her grade 6s joined our class for
the semi-final speech competition. The grade 4s looked smart and were prepared.
The larger audience had everyone feeling a bit more nervous than usual, but it
was valuable experience. Students were well prepared and did the best. The
decision was a difficult one, but was weighed in on by teachers and students.
Congratulations to all who presented today.
The following 3 students have been selected to move on to
the final competition next week Thursday, Feb. 27.
Maria, Braeden, Carter
These s students will need to practice rehearsing their
speeches for the final competition. Everyone else gets a well deserved break
from speech work.
In math, we examined patterns in multiplication. This was an
easy peasy lesson for the grade 4 class.
In our pioneer unit, we continued learning about the way of
life of the Anishinabe. Students paired up with a partner and used a Thin Pad
to practice their research skills. They were challenged to find details about
Anishinabe beliefs, clothing, food, dwellings, language, and transportation.
We ended the day with our novel study of Little House in
the Big Woods. It has been interesting to make connections between the book
and what we have been learning about in class in our pioneer unit. There were
many such connections today. Students shared their thoughts on Charley's
behaviour and his punishment. Students had time in class to read chapter 12.
The response page for chapter 12 is due tomorrow.
