Research

Our class was buzzing this morning with children researching their topic on ThinkPads, using resource books in the classroom to find information or helping a buddy out by sharing relevant information. The children are getting stuck into their Medieval projects. Some are asking to do some work at home too, so parents may see the project packages coming home and your child asking for computer time to do some research.
In gym class, the students were learning to volley with Mr. Browning. Back in class they worked on list 17 spelling words and agendas before having a fun drama class with Ms. Henein.
After french, students in grade 3 used 3 attributes to sort objects. Their Venn diagram looked a bit different today from the one they used yesterday. The grade 4s read and interpreted pictographs and bar graphs. In arithmetic, we reviewed multiplication when 7 is a factor and related this to the days of a week, and the approximate days in a month.
