Today we began by looking at how to read a table to gather information in order to create a bar graph. Students looked at the the range of scores, the highest score, the lowest score and how to plot the information on a graph. We also finished up some lovely artwork we have been doing in our visual journals around the importance of Earth Day (which took place on April 22nd). Students are recognizing all the things that people do impact the earth. Next students were asked to think deeply about how they will be carrying out their legacy projects. They will be looking at several questions, as part of checklist, to help them see where they are going next in their project.
In math we continued to focus on the steps for long division. They were shown how to complete questions that allowed numbers to be divided evenly and how to solve using remainders. Tomorrow they will look at word problems that require them to use division and multiple steps. After lunch we continued to read "Al Capone Does My Shirts". At this point in the novel, Piper, is up to her old tricks again, despite being sent away to her grandmother's house to get straightened out. We also were introduced to a new character, Al Capone's mother, and discussed whether or not she will be a criminal as well. In guided reading we had a new vocabulary literacy station that focused on the math terminology we have used thus far this year. Students have to read clues to complete a crossword puzzle. Lastly, our legacy projects continue to get us to think deeply about the steps we are taking to get students at New Brighton School to reduce their ecological footprint. Ask your child what they have done to complete their project and what their next steps will be. Reminders: May 10 - School Council Meeting May 19 - PD Day (No School) May 22 - Victoria Day (No School)
