Today our math lesson was about developing strategy skills
for tackling and solving word problems. Students shared the strategies they use
with the class. We then used these strategies to solve word problems.
Strategies we use included reading the problem 3 times, rewriting the problem,
recording what is given, recording what we need to find, using a chart to find
the solution, and checking the word problem to ensure we have solved the
problem. We completed all practice questions in class. Students should focus on
reviewing the decimal unit to prepare for the unit test. Students will be
writing their Decimals unit test on Tuesday, December 9 or Wednesday, December
10 depending on how long it takes to get through our review work.
In our inquiry unit on the human body students completed the
remaining worksheets on the respiratory systems. We took up the work. We then
watched a couple of short videos that explain how the respiratory system works.
Students used the remaining inquiry time to work on their graphic stories of
the digestive system. All students are bringing their human body duo tangs home
today so they can study for Monday's test on the skeletal, digestive, and
respiratory systems.
Our carolling club members headed out to Streetsville on
their first carolling trip. Students who stayed behind worked on painting props
for the upcoming Christmas concert.
Students attended French and gym class today.
Look out for after-care statements and picture retakes
coming home with some students today.
