Happy Thursday Parents!
We are almost done our first week back after March Break! We
began our day today with math where we worked on dividing by 2, 5 and 10.
Students seemed to really grasp this concept and understand that in order to be
divisible by 2 the number has to be even, to be divisible by 5 the number has
to end in 5 or 0, and to be divisible by 10 the number needs to end in 0. Some
students are working with dividing by numbers with remainders. I did a brief introduction
to remainders today and if students would like to be challenged they are
encouraged to look at dividing with remainders and practice at home
(ex. 18 / 5 = 3 R 3)
In language we worked on drawing
conclusions from our novel study of Stuart Little. We brainstormed what the
main idea of the novel might be, the class came up with some amazing ideas
including friendship, being a risk-taker, and accepting and appreciating
differences. Students then provided examples from the text.
After lunch, recess, and French we came
back to the class and had another free-write. This time students wrote for four
minutes on the following topic: “Long ago their lived a wizard who created a
potion that could____________”. After writing we had some risk-takers in the class
who were willing to share what they wrote!
The class spent the rest of the period
finishing their fractured fairy tale planners!
After second lunch and recess a few
students who were absent during our UOI presentations for Urban vs. Rural
presented their posters.
We ended the day with gym before completing
agendas and heading off to kiss and ride.
