Division with Remainders


We began our day with a math lesson. Today we examined patterns in division with remainders. Students solved word problems involving division and created their own word problems.

In arithmetic, we learned about the basis of the metric unit for weight - the gram. Students related other units like milligrams, centigrams, decigrams, decagrams, hectograms, and kilograms to the gram.

In language, students wrote their list 27  spelling test.  Spelling tests are coming home today. Also in language, we worked on the format of a picture dictionary. Students used this time to work on their Pioneer A-Z picture dictionary book.

Students continued working on their pioneer projects in our Pioneer inquiry time. We did another flip with the resources that students used in class today.



 

Students attended French, art, and gym class today.

 We are excited to announce the commencement of our recorder program as part of the SJA Arts Curriculum for grades 1 through 6.  Recorders will be used as a means to explore, practice and showcase the musicality of the students at St. Jude’s.  The recorder program will begin in Term 3, and will be a large part of the Term 3 Art assessments.

Students may choose to bring in their own recorders from home if they are already in possession of the instrument in the soprano range.  Families also have the option of buying a recorder directly from St. Jude’s for $10.00.  These recorders will become the possession of the student to be used throughout Term 3 and will be taken home with them to keep at the end of the program.

We look forward to the enjoyment and education that is sure to follow this exciting musical program!
