In arithmetic, we earned how to "borrow" form the tens and hundreds place when subtracting 3-digit numbers. The class is bringing their arithmetic books home today. We had our second period of silent reading today after an active gym class and before the students went to a fun drama class with Ms. Henein.
In math, the grade 4s continued to prepare for tomorrow's unit test on patterning by working on a practice test. Students received individual help with questions that found tricky. Grade 3s learned how to model 3-digit numbers with Base Ten Blocks.The know how to communicate 3-digit numbers as a base ten picture, base ten name, number or word. They also understand how much each place value represents within a 3-digit number.
We ended our day with science. Yesterday, each group was given a rock sample. We smashed the rock open, using proper safety precautions, of course. Using the knowledge we gained from yesterday's note taking exercise on rocks and minerals, students decided whether their sample was a rock or mineral by examining the inside and outside of their sample. They wrote a note to convince other groups of their decisions. Representatives from each groups shared the note with the class. The children examined each other's rocks and practiced their thinking skills by deciding if they agreed on the classification.
The class attended french with Mme Stella today.
Don't forget, tomorrow is Spirit Day! Wear your house colours.
