Happy sunny Friday!<\/p>\n

This week Division 9 practiced many skills!<\/p>\n

\"\"In Math we learned about the multiplication table. We noticed that two rows of five is the same product as five rows of two! We explored the relationships between numbers and how the products represent the number of squares used. Students learned a game using number cards in which they must find multiplication sentences to win cards as points. Students also created and\/or solved their own multiplication “crossword” puzzles. \u00a0\u00a0 Our class is really grasping multiplication concepts and it is so exciting to see this learning in action!<\/p>\n

We worked on hearing the differences between our sounds of the week (next week’s words will be even more challenging!) using “sound boxes” and other writing activities.<\/p>\n

\"\"We read stories and worked on sequencing based on the key events. We circulated around the room to write adjectives to describe a variety of settings and characters. This vocabulary-building activity should help us to add greater description to our narrative writing.<\/p>\n

In Social Studies, we learned about the Eastern Woodlands Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee, Mi\u2019kmaq, Ojibwe and Wendat (Huron) peoples. As in previous weeks, students made predictions about technologies, observed the geography of the region in photos and maps, and read about the cultural elements. Did you know that the game of lacrosse was invented by the people of the Eastern Woodlands? One of the technologies we learned about was the lacrosse stick, and we saw photos of how it has evolved over time. We also watched this video about the first lacrosse game:<\/p>\n
