Celebrations

1.  Both grade 3's and grade 4's started working on multiplication in math today!  Some were excited, some were nervous, and some were unsure of what this was all about!  We started gently by getting to know what the students knew and the grade 3s watched the video below.  We then worked on showing basic facts in a variety of ways.

Mr. Kelly and Mrs. Derksen Will be working with the grade 4's over the next few weeks and Mrs. Zwack will be working with the grade 3 students.  We are doing this because the learning objectives are quite different for grades 3 and 4.  We will put some information and games on Google classroom for home practise next week!

2.  In other exciting news today, we started our Hearing and Sound science inquiry with a cacophony of noise as we tried out various centres and recorded our observations.  Mrs. Derksen planned some exciting activities and the students loved trying them out.  Mrs. Zwack might need a quiet walk this evening to recover!!!!  Hands were sanitized!!  

Something to talk about:  What were some of your observations during the Sound Stations today?

Reminders

1.  Words Their Way quizzes will be a week from today on March 25!  Sorting lists are in Google Classroom now.
