We had another day filled with learning today! We began our day with math where we began division. Today we learned that we can divide items into smaller groups. We worked on using manipulative's to show different division sentences! We also learned that division is the opposite of multiplication and when we will use division outside of school!
For language we read the next two chapters of Stuart Little, since we are nearing the end of the novel we worked on making predictions for how the novel will end while using specific details from the story to support our answers.
After lunch and recess we had UOI where we worked on identifying features of a fairy tale. We used our knowledge of common fairy tales to come up with what every fairy tale includes, we then worked in groups to see how four common fairy tales use all of the elements!
Today we also began our very first four-minute free-write, students were given a notebook and a topic and they were asked to write consistently for four minutes straight-this is to improve their writing speed and to also allow them a creative outlet to express their thoughts, and they are able to go back and finish stories if they feel inspired by the writing topics! We had some amazing written work completed today!
After french, second lunch and recess we came back to class and finally organized IB binders (there will be a lot of work coming home for students to keep at home!)
We ended the day with outdoor recess and agendas before heading off to kiss and ride!
