We had another wonderful day today! We started our morning singing once through The Residential School Song. Then we worked on the Canadian Artists posters, either finishing write-ups, planning the layout of the poster, or creating an effective title. The kids worked well so we kept going until recess.
After recess, we listened to (and some dance to) The Multiplication Tango, a fun song about the challenges of memorizing one's multiplication facts. Next, we did the 3 minute drill and recorded the results on our line graphs. After that, the students did a short (12 marks) quizzette about area and perimeter.
When everyone was done the quizzette, we created our own fishy tessellations. I showed some MC Escher posters first, and discussed his work a bit. Before lunch we managed to create the tessellations and start drawing them on our papers. After P.E. in the afternoon (an extended period today!) we came back to class to fill in Agendas, work on colouring the tessellations, and had book exchange. Many kids finished their pieces completely.That brought us to the end of our school day:)
Special Event: The Spelling Bee is taking place tomorrow morning in the gym @ 9:00 am. We have ten participants; the top four finishers will compete in the district spelling bee next week at Arrow Heights.
