Here's a quick look at what kept us busy this morning in Room 208.
In Math, we started by correcting Section A of our mental math practice sheet. Our strategy this week is multiplying from the left. We can break bigger numbers into its place values, multiply the parts and then add them together. This strategy will help us as we continue to multiply bigger and bigger numbers. We also spent more time with factors and primer and composite numbers, and began reviewing these concepts (along with multiples) to solidify our understanding.
In Français, we read our second peace-themed book, Regarde par-ci! Regarded par là! Regarde partout! and noticed that this book asked us to call on all of our senses when we think of peace. The characters in the story found peace smelling fresh-baked bread and tasting sweet, crisp apples. They also saw peace looking at the river and felt peace being in the mountains. Mme challenged us to think about when we feel peace in our lives. What daily routines, family traditions and special memories make us feel peace? We will call upon all of these experiences when we begin our peace poem writing early next week.
Finally, in Science, we continued learning about the characteristics of living things. We reviewed that all living things: breathe, eat, grow, are made of cells, reproduce, adapt, require sun (stimuli) and die.
We will continue to explore these ideas in class tomorrow before we move on to the classification of living things and the properties that make each sub group unique.
