December 20th

This week we went and visited our kindergarten buddies and did some art. We made reindeers out of popsicle sticks. The hard part was gluing the popsicle sticks because it was hard making them even. Another tricky part was also putting on the antlers because sometimes our buddies struggled twisting them.

We continued learning about multiplication by practicing the easiest and most important times table, the fives. We practiced counting by fives to get faster. We are trying to get so good that we just know the facts without counting by fives. Someone also realized that we can sometimes count by tens to do this too or half a number that is multiplied by ten.

The other day we made Tinfoil Men/ Tinfoil People. It was an art project that helped us learn more about light and shadow. It was used to teach us how an opaque object blocks light and makes shadows. One student said that he liked bending the men because they are very flexible.

To learn more about multiplication we made array buildings. We made buildings out of black paper and glued yellow windows onto the building. The windows were supposed to show us an array of a multiplication sentence. We realized that it was also connected to learning about artificial light which we learned about in science.

Three Left Feet were still here teaching us our dance called Candy Cane Festijo. Our Winter Concert performance is on December 20th at 5:15. All of the parents are invited to come. We have practiced lots so that we will be really fantastic for our celebration and we can add more pizzaz :) to our performance.

  1. There are many questions surrounding the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) units on muscles. ... While TENS stimulates the sensory nerve endings – with the objective being to provide pain relief – EMS stimulates muscle motor nerves causing muscle contraction.

Good morning everyone, I just wanted to remind everyone that we are having our first Google Meet tomorrow at 11 am. If you have not been able to log onto Google Classroom please contact me and I will try to help out however I can. To get onto Google Classroom log onto your student email in the same way that you would get onto Google Docs at school. I should have sent you a class invite. Remember this week we are using Raz Kids for Reading and Prodigy for Math and it would be wonderful if you were practicing your multiplication facts. Grade 3's need to know up to 5 x 5 and the grade 4's need to know up to 7 x 7. We will be using these skills next week when we begin using Google Classroom. Have a great day.

April 14 - 17th Math

Hello, This week for Math we will be using Prodigy  prodigygame . Prodigy is a Maths game where students answer math questions in order to cast spells and collect points. I have assigned questions related to Math concepts that we have covered in class. Once those questions have been answered the program chooses appropriate additional questions based on the students ability level. It is important not to give too much support when students are answering the questions otherwise the program will continue to give out even more challenging questions.  How to help If you notice that they are having trouble with a questions, let them answer but then show them on a piece of paper either what the question is asking or how you might solve the problem. Also near the top of the question there is a prompt button that will give a clue and some math tools such as pens and 100 charts that can also support them. To prepare for next week please practice Multiplication facts with your c
