We began our day with math. We solved division problems
where there is a remainder. We used pictures as a strategy to solve problems.
We also used multiplication facts and skip counting to solve problems. Students
understand that there are times when it is better to draw a picture than to
write a division fact.
In arithmetic, students worked on revision.
In language, we continued working on letter writing. Today
we read about the reasons for writing a thank-you note and we read examples of
poor and excellent thank-you notes. Students contributed to a T-Chart comparing
the form of a friendly letter to that of a thank-you note. Students practiced
writing thank-notes in the correct form. They also worked on their list 13
spelling words.
In our inquiry unit, we reviewed the expectations for their
summative storytelling project. Students are on track to complete this task on
time. Students worked on using yesterday's brainstorm and story web organiser
to write a first draft of their story.
Students attended French and gym class today.
