Thursday, February 6
Today in Math we continued to review and apply our 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication strategies. Students continue to be encouraged to use estimation to check that their products are reasonable.
In French, we played a couple more rounds of "J'ai... Qui a...?" and worked on word scramble and secret code puzzles related to French clothing vocabulary.
In Language Arts we continued our work with showing instead of telling by collectively brainstorming ways that people show different emotions. The charts students began creating will be useful resources when they are writing later on.
In Science students created circuits to test whether different materials are conductors or insulators.
We also had Music, some Quiet Reading/Unfinished Work time, and began chapter 14 of The Boundless.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone at Family Math night tonight! There will be lots of fun and educational activities, as well as opportunities to win awesome prizes! Grade 3 students are also holding a fundraiser to support animals in Australia impacted by the fires. Again, that is TONIGHT from 6:30-8:00 at Hawkwood School!
