We began the day with Math multiplication on the 2 x tables. I showed them tricks using the 2 times table, doubling, halving and even some cool 5x tricks related to halving. Ask your child to show you how they solve 5 x 8624... most could do it in their heads by the end of the class. The stronger math students worked to help the other students catch up and understand the concepts in multiplication.
After Math we has Social Studies where we talked about the Fur Trade and its importance to the development of Canada. Talked about the beaver and the importance of the Hudson Bay as a sea route for the English (Hudson Bay Company) because of the vast area of rivers that drained into it. See map below. The area in Yellow is the area of Canada that drains into the Hudson Bay. As most travel at the time was by boat it was the main route for furs to Europe from N.A.
After Socials the students worked at making their own Trading Posts then went to Music. We traded our Music time tomorrow with Mrs. Carlton who had her time today. It was great as it gave us time to practice with the other grade 4 class who are performing with us at the concert.
In the afternoon we went to the Royal Theater to watch the Naden Navy Band perform some very exciting and child based music. It was amazing and we got to sit in the balcony with some of the students sitting in the queen's box.
Outstanding Day everyone. See you all tomorrow.
