Math:Today we continued to work with number lines and comparing numbers. I drew a numberline with very few numbers on it on the board and the kids had to place numbers on the board. Next I drew a number line and a random line and they had to tell me what number that line represented. They finished the period doing some textbook work.

UOI: We needed to finish our summative projects today so we spent quite a bit of time finishing our summatives!
French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

UOI: We continued working on our summatives.
Math: Math Games! Today we practiced place value and patterns in the hundreds chart. One of the games was a hundreds chart puzzles and they had to use their knowledge of the hundreds chart to put them together. Another game was a number puzzle from the hundreds chart in which they had to fill in the missing numbers. The final game I put clues around the room and they had to use their knowledge of the hundreds chart in order to find the clues! They had a lot of fun!

UOI: We continued working on our summatives.

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Science fair: We practiced for our science fair experiment. I was so impressed that everyone had their  parts memorized! Good work!
UOI: We continued to work on our summatives. They are working so hard!
French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

UOI: We continued to work on our summatives. We need extra time to work on our summatives so we will be presenting on Monday.
Science fair: We presented to the judges and they did so well! They knew what to say, spoke loudly, clearly and stood and waited for their part. I was so impressed!
Math: We counted skip counted and found patterns on a number line! I put down tape in the hallway and we found patterns by physically walking across the number line. We started at different numbers and they counted in 2's, 5's or 10's.

Lunch/Recess

Music: Please see Mr. Andrei's blog for more information.
Science fair: They all had lots of fun looking at the other experiments! Thanks to everyone that came!

Wednesday November 23rd

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Science fair: Today we worked on our oral communication skills! We separated each of the science fair topics and they practiced for the big day tomorrow!
UOI: We started working on our summative projects.
French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

UOI: We continued to work on our summative project.
Math: First we reviewed what we talked about yesterday and filled in missing numbers from a hundreds chart using the patterns we already know using our new whiteboards.

Lunch/Recess

Math: We talked about patterns within a hundreds chart from 1-1000. We found patterns when counting by 2's, 5's, 10's and 25's. We answered some textbook questions.
Gym: Please see Mr. H's blog for more information.

Have a good night!

Tuesday November 22nd 2016

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Science fair: Today we worked on our science fair board!
UOI: We continued to work on our summatives. They are coming along well and I am very pleased! Good work everyone!
French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

UOI: We continued to work on our summatives.
Math: Today we started off the period with a recap from yesterday. I gave them some numbers, verbal and on the board, and they had to put them in the right column on the chart on their whiteboard. Today we found patterns within the hundreds chart. We realized that when you go down you increased by 10. When you go diagonal and to the left the numbers add up to the first single digit number. When you go diagonal and to the right both the tens digit and the ones digit increase by 1. We used our new whiteboards to find these patterns. Then we did some questions from the grade 3 textbook and then the grade 4 textbook to challenge ourselves!

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Spelling: Spelling work is due Thursday and the test is Friday.
Science fair: We continued to work on our science fair project by making graphs to go along with it!
French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

Math: Today we worked on reading 3 digit numbers and place value. First we used the base ten  blocks to help us draw numbers on a whiteboard. Next I drew a chart on the board in which each number was separated into the column appropriate to its base ten. We learned that we always start with the last number and count forward the different place value columns. For example, for the number 672: 2 goes in the ones, 7 in the tens and 6 in the hundreds. Next we made it harder and challenged ourselves! I added thousands and they drew them on their whiteboard. Then we added 10,000's and we practiced reading the numbers. Then we did 100,000's! They loved it and were really getting the hang on it. Test them out this week for more practice!

UOI: Today we continued to work on our summative's. Please make sure they are bringing in any necessary materials for tomorrow.
