March 13 In Math this week we continued our focus on learning our multiplication facts by focusing on our 4 times tables and using the strategy of doubling our doubles. We practiced our facts by using think boards, playing array conquer and multiplication fill-in. Mr. Traynor also began teaching us about asking data collection questions that are clear and specific, collecting information using tallies and displaying the information on a pictograph. In Science, we started researching about wolves using our note taking skills. We are working in small groups and using information websites to locate information about wolves. This week we focused as a whole class about wolf habitats and some of the challenges and adaptations of wolves. In gymnastic we are learning about gymnastics.

End of the week March 6th We have had a great week this week. The weather has been warming up and we have been enjoying all of our wonderful visitors this week. On Monday we were visited by La Boucheron. He visited our school and taught us about traditional cultural practices from all around Canada. He taught our grade 4 students how to play the spoons and even helped us make a traditional maple treat. We started our new gym unit, gymnastics. We spent most of the week learning how to be safe and practiced our safety landings and safety falls. In Math,  we have been continuing to learn about multiplication and how to represent it. We have been using pictures (moons and stars) as well as arrays to represent multiplication problems. The grade 3's have been learning their Math facts up to 5 x 5. The grade 4's have been practicing up to 7 x 7. To help us we have been playing games like Moons and Stars and Array Conquer. This week we also finished our Science presentation
