The Week That Was...

We are coming to the end of a busy week.  The students wrote their final narrative piece.  I'll send them home after I mark them.  In reading, the students are learning to retell non-fiction texts by identifying 3 things they learned, 2 interesting facts and 1 question they have.  In math, the grade 2's are starting a unit on multiplication and division.  The students will learn how to explain multiplication as the combining of equal groups, e.g., show that 3 groups of 2 is equal to 2 + 2 + 2 and to 3 X 2.  The grade 3's are nearing the end of their algebra unit, determining the missing number in one and two digit equations, e.g., 24 - 5 = 15 + ?, and investigating the properties of 0 and 1 in multiplication.  In science, we are continuing to learn about liquids and solids.  We will be making our floaters early next week so please send in the materials as soon as possible.  In social studies next week, the grade 3's will be comparing a fishing community (Port Stanley) to Chatham-Kent.  The grade 2's will be learning more about life in Zimbabwe.
The poem this week was called Chatterbox, The Rain, which is fitting for April!
