I took this photo as I was walking into the school this morning:) Aren't we lucky?
Thanks Mrs. V for the wonderfully delicious muffins this morning!
After Brain Dance, we marked and reviewed the Greek & Latin Roots Unit 4 package. Then we went over the spelling words for Friday. ** There will be a quiz on these on Friday!!**
Next, we learned about Christmas in Brazil. The students completed the mapping and comprehension questions in class; I gave them some time after recess to do so. Those not finished then stayed in during lunch to get them done.
In math, after the multiplication drill and graphing, we marked / reviewed the factors and associated arrays for 24 and 18. I am being very particular about the order that they write their factors pairs down. For example, the factor pairs for 18 are 1 X 18
2 X 9
3 X 6
Written out in order (from least to greatest, as represented by the rainbow): 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
By doing this in an orderly way, students are less likely to forget some of the factors.
No further math homework was assigned today.
After lunch, the students wrote the Matter Quiz for science. Then the grade fours did the MDI (Middle Years Development Inventory) with Mr. Pfeiffer in the computer lab. The rest of the students read their books silently for a while, then did some Zentangle colouring. We did not do Art as planned so that everyone will be able to partake tomorrow or Thursday, whenever we get to it.
Enjoy your evening!
