January 9th-10th

January 9th - 10th

Welcome back everyone.

This week we started our new Math unit. We are learning all about subtraction and subtraction strategies. We need to make sure that we can use automatic mental strategies to solve problems up to 18. So that means we can solve 18-9 within 3 seconds mentally. So please practice at home.

We are also learning about strategies to solve subtraction up to 999 for the Grade 3's and 9999 for the grade 4's. We have been using think boards to help us out with that. Here is an example of a think board and a blank one to practice with.

Please remember that we have our It's a Crime Not to Read visit to the school on Tuesday so remember to return your books.

On Friday we continued our weekly drawing, creativity and response activity. The drawing was very challenging but we showed excellent perseverance and the response conversation at the end was wonderful. Have a great weekend and remember to dress warm next week.

April 16

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
