We started our day with Math as we had a lot to do.  Students did a 3-minute timed multiplication drill, the results which were added to their line graph.  Next, we marked / reviewed the multiplication (4-digit X 1-digit) worksheet from yesterday.  Then, we watched some Area videos on Math Antics and completed the practice sheet together.  This took us to recess.

After recess, we watched the "Silent E" video by the Bazillions (youtube) and read a booklet "Silent E Gets Fired" to reinforce a basic spelling rule about words ending with silent e.
Example: rob - robe, plan - plane
*We will be focussing a lot on basic spelling rules these next couple of weeks.  Students will also be adding notes to their Interactive Notebooks.

**Our school spelling bee will be held March 1st at 9:00 in our gym; the district bee at AHE March 8th.

Mr. Pfeiffer took the kids to P.E. during my prep time.

After lunch, Tina came in to help prepare for banner creations.  We started with a brief history of canneries along BC's coast.  We also briefly discussed our year-end play and what it is going to look like (more or less).  After discussing the banners / backdrop for the play,  the students chose which group they wanted to work in to help plan / design a banner.  This took some time and is a work in progress.  Here they are, concentrating and working hard.

That's our day.
*Please note that the Scales and Tales (salmon package) Quiz is postponed until Monday!
