Monday April 23 rd

Welcome back after a sunny weekend.  We began the week with our weekly spelling test and spelling worksheets.  These worksheets are due on Friday after the weekly test as students can use the worksheets as an aid to study.

After recess the students had music where they learned a new song continued to work on perfecting a song on their recorder which they will present at next months assembly.

After music the students worked on a writing assignment on the topic of jobs and careers.  This is part of an ongoing writing assignment we are working on.

After lunch the class went to choir.  Those students not in choir listened to and did a report on Ravi Shankar, the legendary sitarist and composer is India's most esteemed musical Ambassador and a singular phenomenon in the classical music worlds of East and West. 
 

After choir we spent the rest of the afternoon (to many groans and much whining) practicing division.  We first approached it as reverse multiplication using a times table chart then went on to division with remainders.  Many of the students seemed to get the process but may still not understand it visually. 

 We stopped 10 minutes early in the day for a quick game of silent ball as all the students in the class, who were working on division with me, got the sample division question right.
