Happy first day of May! Spring is finally in the air and we are enjoying playing outside during recess. This morning we began our day with some math questions. Students had to answer the following:
In social studies students have been looking at the history of Alberta, from the FNMI people that first inhabited the province to the present day. We have been researching and having discussion about some of the events and people that helped shape the province. The students have been very opinionated! During math Mrs. Otterson spent time showing the students how base ten blocks can be used to provide a visual for what numbers are found in the quotient. Have your child try a 2 digit by 1 digit division question at home and explain their thinking using place value (base ten drawings). After lunch we came to the climax in our read aloud novel. Moose has become a much bigger risk taker and is sneaking through a hole in the fence that attaches the prison to the rec yard. He is searching for a convict baseball in hopes to secure his friendship with Scout. After looking and finding nothing, Moose returns to find his sister Natalie is gone!! While listening to the novel read aloud, students are completing a CSI (colour, symbol, image) visual journal page. We began new literacy stations today. Students are being asked to sort and complete sentences that use the math vocabulary we have learned and then show their understanding by showing an example of a matching equation. We are also writing scripts for our legacy projects.
