Thoughts of the day- February 29 (a leap day!)

What did we do today?

• In word work, the big word was perseverance.
• Today in gym we started mini-tennis.
• In math, we started multiplication by talking about strategies.  The grade 4's reviewed their skills through card games while the grade 3's learned a few strategies such as using your hands, showed a trick for the 9's and repeat addition/ skip counting.
• This afternoon we worked hard to finish our India centers as we will start Tunisia next week with Clay 4 Kids.  Those students working on Alberta had to read maps and identify national parks.

What questions do we have after today?

• What activity will we do tomorrow for multiplication?
• What are some of the books we will be reading during D5 guided reading?
• Is the movie and the book the City of Ember similar or quite different? When are we going to watch it?
• Will we finish our India centers on time?
• What will our next racquet sport be?
