Handwriting, Long Division, and Animal Research


Hard at work on Animal Research. Great focus and work today M.
Students started the day with Handwriting (writing, "Meow, Grrrr, Caw Caw" 3x and then letter combination practise in their booklet), followed by long division with remainders in Math. Today they completed 4 pages of practise (each page didn't have many questions) that broke the procedure into steps, focussing on one step at a time. Many students understood long division after the 45 min lesson and the simplified practise this morning. Unfinished work is for homework.

J. sharing about the snail he found on his way home from school! Thank you for bringing in the photo.
After recess, students continued with their Animal Research project. Our goal is to be finished on Monday, May 27. They have next Tuesday and Monday, May 27 to work on it (Monday, May 20 is a stat holiday). All students have finished their notes and most students are writing their paragraphs. Some have started on their labelled diagrams. Finished paragraphs and diagrams (on their animal's Description, Habitat, Young, Food, and Other Intersting Facts) will be glued onto poster board or a student-made shape of their animal, made from coloured paper.
The morning went by quickly. Ms. Koch took 2 groups of students to work on literacy and social skills, and Ms. Smith also worked with the Reading and Math groups after recess time.
See you next Tuesday!
Mrs. Schneider
