End of the Week Nov 4th - 8th

This week in Math we learned a bunch of new Math games. We learned how to play Rack-O, array conquer, tenzi as well as addition war. Besides games we also explored how the words, "what is the difference between ___ and ___," is a phrase that means subtraction. We also explored 2D and3D shapes and a the word vertices, which are corners. On Wednesday, we looked at time to the half hour as well as even and odd numbers. Then on Thursday we explored the link between multiplication and repeated addition, here is a link to a Khan Academy video if you would like to explore more.

Finally in Math we continued our Math Talks lessons by looking at word problems, solving them in small groups and explaining our mathematical thinking to the class. We are learning from each other to explore how there are many ways to solve the same problem.

In Social Studies we explored Remembrance Day. We looked at why we observe Remembrance Day. We looked at the symbols and traditions of Remembrance Day. Our class created posters to raise awareness to support the Veteran's Food Bank. Then on Friday we took part in the schools Remembrance Day ceremony. Remember that Monday is Remembrance Day and to observe a minute of silence at 11 am. The school will also be accepting food and hygiene donations to the Veteran's Food Bank until Friday November the 15th.

Don't forget O.S. Geiger sent home a form on Friday to register for the upcoming Parent-Teacher Conference.

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 wi...
