We had a busy morning of learning today to cap off a busy week!
In Mathé, we worked on factors as well as prime and composite numbers. We learned that "les facteurs" can also be called "les diviseurs." We also tackled our next mental math strategy, which has us decomposing a larger number into its place values in order to multiply. This strategy is a good fit for us right now, as our work with factors is really helping us a build confidence with our basic multiplication facts.
In Français, we continued working with the story, "Suresh, the garçon qui venait de loin." Today we began writing a resumé of the text and discussed how writing a resumé to show our comprehension of an article is different than writing a resumé that we may find on the back of a book to hook in a reader. We will finish the shared write of our Suresh resumé next week in class.
Nearer the end of our morning, Mme McKenzie stopped by to explain an activity that we, as a school, will be doing as we prepare for our upcoming Remembrance Day assembly next week. She shared an article with us that was printed in the Winnipeg Free Press back in 2005 that listed the names of every Manitoban who died during World War II. We were all surprised by how many names there were! Pages and pages of names! Next week in class, we will each choose one name from the list and write it in the centre of a paper poppy. These paper poppies will then be formed into a wreath and carried up to the front go the gym during our assembly next Thursday.
We were asked to go home this weekend and ask about any of our family members or family friends that may have fought in World War II; we are welcome to honour a family member or a friend with a paper poppy as well.
