Dear Parents,<\/p>\n
Today, we started off with reviewing some more long division and then students worked on their own to answer three questions one-by-one and we took them up in between. We will continue to practice this so that they are ready for more advanced division in future grades. Then, I went over some of the questions from Unit 5, Lesson 8, which was assigned to students as work after: #1-3, 5-7. It is homework if not done.<\/strong> Using their division and multiplication skills, students will be able to figure out if they for example have a 15 cm length and need to split it into 5 parts, how long each segment should be and divide it up equally by this calculation.<\/p>\n After, we had snack and recess. Following recess, students were assigned a job to investigate properties of living things (as opposed to non-living things) and how the five senses work on more of an advanced bodily level. This is the start of their unit of Living Things which includes a project on animal adaptations at the end. I have set up a microscope in our classroom for students to examine various plant and animal slides in order to see their cells and anatomical make-up. It should be really cool \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Then, students worked on their Optical Illusion Art. They will have one more class to work on this and it is due on Friday this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n Following lunch, students started to create their main character and one of their supporting characters by mapping out character traits, drawing, and describing a character. This character will be starring in the fictional story they will be starting to write soon. Very excited to read these!<\/p>\n Then, we had planners, clean-up, DPA, and then students went to Music.<\/p>\n Reminders: Moon Phases & Tides Quiz on Tuesday next week and Spelling Test next Thursday (not this week).<\/p>\n Have a good night!<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Ms. Wilks<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Parents, Today, we started off with reviewing some more long division and then students worked on their own to answer three questions one-by-one and we took them up in between.
