Dear Parents,<\/p>\n
Today, we continued our “Castle in the Attic” read-aloud in the morning. Then, we did an introduction to basic single-digit multiplication. If students needed more clarification on this topic, they were asked to come to the board to work with me in a small group or one-on-one so I could draw visuals to illustrate the division process. I also linked how multiplication and division facts are related. e.g. 6 x 5 = 30, 5 x 6 = 30, 30\/6 = 5, 30\/5 = 6. Their colouring sheet is homework if they are not done yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Then, we had library and continued to do gymnastics in Gym. I needed to emphasize that hanging off of the basketball nets is not safe and we had to leave Gym early due to this safety risk as a lesson to the students.<\/p>\n After, we worked in our Daily 5 literacy stations and played another turn in the Catan game.<\/p>\n After recess, we had a classroom meeting where we presented the problem again with lining up and students expressed that they felt it wasted a lot of time waiting for everybody to be in a straight line and quiet. Then, to end off the day the students read an information sheet on the Feudal system and highlighted the important points – we are practicing figuring out which points are important in reading passages.<\/p>\n Our class party for two students leaving the school is tomorrow after lunch! I have invited the students to bring food, snacks, and games as they will have free time after lunch. The spelling test is also tomorrow!<\/p>\n We are collecting back forms for skating with $5 (preferably paid online) and the form returned as soon as possible. We are also still looking for a lot of skating drivers as we need parent drivers badly!<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Ms. Wilks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Parents, Today, we continued our “Castle in the Attic” read-aloud in the morning.
