Morning "eye opener" was making words. The big word was "multiplication". In the gym we played a basketball game that had us focusing on open and closed spaces. This means that if your team does not have the ball you need to watch your "check". If your team has the ball, the other team will check you. The goal is to get three passes between your team members. In writing, we worked on our entertaining beginnings. These were based on a photo we chose of a First Nations person's life in the past. Ask me to tell you about how I began my story (dialogue, action, sound, narration, question). We also worked on four word problems in math that had students using multiplication. They are found here: We will review them tomorrow. Practice Multiplication – January 30, 2017 Complete the following questions in your math notebook. Use blocks to help you visualize. 1) a) Write a multiplication fact for this array. * * * * * * * * b) Double one factor in the multiplication sentence. Make an array for this new fact. Write a multiplication sentence. 2) Six students can travel in 1 boat.
3) Multiply.

Miss Lysak had us listen to a song "We are the World"; we practiced "Oh Canada" in French and English; students with solo parts practiced in front of the class as we prepare for the official school opening on February 2nd. Lastly, we created teepee designs in art. Students looked at some traditional ways Blackfoot people created designs for their teepees. We created our own designs that we will need to be able to explain. It was fun :) Reminders: Feb 2 ~ Scholastic Book Orders Due (cheques only please) Feb 3 ~ PD Day Feb 6 ~ Book Mobile Visit Feb 16-17 ~ Teachers Convention Feb 20 ~ Family Day Feb 23 ~ Fun Lunch
