Tables as a Strategy for Solving Problems

This morning was a much more productive building time for everyone in grades 3 & 4. Students had their supplies at school and worked on their projects. A few experienced some frustration that is part of doing something new. They did a great job of problem solving and trying to overcome obstacles. The children were sad when building time was over.
They had a good time with Mr. Browning. I heard a rumour that today is the last day of volleyball for our class.
Back in class, the two grades took turns writing their spelling tests, working on their agendas, and reflecting on each others medieval art. Spelling tests are coming home today. Please sign and return the test.
Next up was drama class with Mrs. Henein. Some students had to sit out of drama because they had not done their drama homework.
After French, the grade 3s learned how to conduct a survey  They practiced choosing a topic, posing a question with possible answers, making predictions, and recording their data. Grade 4s worked on a strategy lesson today. The strategy was using a table to solve a problem. The children did a great job at using this strategy. We ended the day with review work in arithmetic.
We are all excited for tomorrow's Medieval Day.
