One thing that we started was a class deal that if we get twenty marbles we get a class bonus. If we help others or are kind. If we show good leadership and respect then Mr. Pressey will give us a marble. Once we get enough we will vote on an activity.

During Social Studies we continued to do animal research on mind maps. Last we we brainstormed questions to help guide our research. This week we used our mind map note taking to take notes about the food, body, habitat and life cycle of different Canadian animals.

We started playing badminton in gym we learned how to serve and pass back and forth and we counted to see how many passes we could do before it hits the floor. A few days back we started doing badminton games we played each other to see who can keep it in the air longest.

We started doing harder math this week. We were practicing our 9 times tables. We learned how we can use our fingers to figure out our nine times tables up to 9 x 9. We also found out that all of the answers for our nine times tables add up to 9 when you add the digits together.

To prepare for next week please practice Multiplication facts wi...
