The students started off the day today working on language. In today's class the students practiced their letter writing in a fun activity. They wrote letters to their parents that they are going to hand out during parent/teacher interviews tonight! During language the students also worked on their Language books where they continued reviewing synonyms, antonyms and homonyms and they worked on cursive.
During our Unit of Inquiry today the students continued inquiring in our How the World Works unit. In today's class we read a book together that review many different types of forces. It gave examples of forces in real life examples. Ask your child tonight what they can tell you about the connection between forces and bowling, forces and ice skating, forces and playground slides, and forces and the wind! As as class we also took a walk around the school and the students recorded and described the many different types of forces they saw. They answered some questions about our walk as well. Ask your child tonight to tell you about it!
During mathematics today the students continued with their new unit on multiplication! In today's class the students explored how they can use arrays to help them find answers to multiplication questions. Students were asked to use arrays to find the answers to multiplication sentences, and create their own arrays! Students will be bringing home their Homework and Practice book with them tonight to practice this new concept.
Students also went to PE, Art and French classes.
Homework: Read for 2o minutes and record in the reading log, practice weekly spelling words, Language pages 73 - 74, Math pages 76 - 77, Cursive pages 52 - 53 and complete forces worksheet if needed.
