This week in Language Arts we are continuing our unit on Fairy Tales. Today we read two different versions of The Three Little Pigs and compared them. Students used a Venn diagram to organize their thinking and had to justify which story was their favorite using details from the book.
In Science, everyone has now completed their dacta pulley. Our goals when using the dacta were: -I can follow a scientific procedure. -I can problem solve when I run into a challenge. Our next and final simple machine we are looking at will be wheels and axles. In Math, students continue to build understanding and practice their skills in multiplication. Lately we have been looking at helpful patterns when we multiply, such as all multiples of 2 are even, or all multiples of 5 end in either 5 or 0. These tricks are helpful in mastering mental facts. Students also have learned how to use a times table and practice it during our new favorite game: multiplication bingo! In preparation for cultural night, our class has been busy learning about Canada. With so many different cultures and background represented in our classroom, we decide to choose the one we all have in common. So far, students have researched famous people and interesting places in Canada, and began a class mosaic art project. Reminders: Bring back any Cultural Night sign-up forms ASAP. Cultural Night is Wednesday February 13th. We are still in need of volunteers for spring field trips. If you wish to volunteer, please email me at [email protected]. You can stop by the office during school hours and Mrs. Peterson can assist you with getting your volunteer clearance. :) Mrs. Rowein
