Curling

Day 10

Students began their day attending French with Mme. Stella.

We had math next. We took up Friday’s homework on multiplying a decimal by a 1-digit whole number. We then did a new lesson on dividing a decimal by a 1 digit whole number. Our strategy was to divide as we usually do while ignoring the decimal. Then we estimate the product by rounding to have only whole numbers. The estimation is used to help us accurately place the decimal point. Students made some progress with the practice work in class. Students are asked to complete practice work on p. 153 - 154 (a, c, e) of the MMS textbook.

During UOI time, students began working on our connection concept. We began learning how Canada is connected to other countries through international organizations. Most students handed in their brochures. I am still waiting for some brochures. Please hand these in first thing tomorrow morning. I am still waiting on some groups to send me their Canada’s exports video. Students that have uploaded their video to YouTube should email me the link at mhaag@stjudesacademy.com.

We had lunch and then headed out to enjoy an awesome curling experience at Acton Curling Club.

 

Once we got back we had snack time, discussed thinkers for the month of November and then had our novel study time. Students met in their groups to discuss chapter 16 - 18. There wasn’t any time left to read chapter 19. Students are asked to complete their reading and response for homework.  Our next novel study time will take place tomorrow.
