Another very busy day here in Grade 3-4-5!
We started our day doing a 3-minute MAZE assignment, then read about how a solar eclipse happens in an article entitled The Greatest Show on Earth. Students had some multiple choice questions to answer, then 'translated' the meanings of words using prefixes: un-, bi-, and semi-.
Next we glued our Parts of Speech pages into our Interactive Notebooks, but did not have time to add the notes yet. (see yesterday's post for the set up)
During Math, we did the usual multiplication drill, then some more X100 and X1000 practice. Following that, students continued to work on multiplication problems using the Area Model.
After lunch, we watched a couple of short videos (three to be exact) about days, seasons, and years; and lunar cycles and the phases of the moon. [see below] We completed another page for our Circle Book about the Lunar phases, and started to create a flip booklet. We will complete the latter tomorrow.

All this kept us pretty busy, with eating and recreational breaks throughout the day.
*Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day! The school has purchased shirts for everyone; they will be waiting for the students tomorrow:) A huge thank you to Wagalus School!
