The Halloween dance is Thursday evening. Check Mr. Shackelton's blog for detail on the social studies project that is due at the end of the month. We are taking another week off spelling because we have lots of projects starting next week and also a presentation on Friday.
Morning recap:
This morning we did read to self or read to someone before learning about bio poems. These are poems that tell the story of one particular person, including what they love and where they live. We wrote one as a class about Maks and then had time to write our own in our journals. Some of them were pretty funny. In math, we reviewed how to do multi-digit multiplication involving decimals. It is just like regular multiplication but we have to remember to count the number of places after the decimal in the questions to make sure the answer has the same amount. For example. 0.34 x 0.68 has 4 numbers after the decimal, so the answer will as well (0.2312). We did some practice problems and then started creating bingo cards so that we can play decimal multiplication bingo in an upcoming math block.
During buddies, we helped them create their classroom alphabet. We created letters using cotton balls, stickers, or tissue paper. We also read with our buddies and acted out different problems we might have at school so that we could talk about how to solve them and how big each problem is. For example, breaking a pencil is a level 1 problem that we can solve by ourselves, whereas falling off the slide and breaking a bone is a level 5 problem that requires a lot of help. We ended the morning playing bench dodgeball with all the grade sixes at gym.
Have a great weekend!
