Hello families of room 18!
Yesterday we welcomed our student teacher Ms. Ryan to our class. She will be with us for 6 weeks and will slowly be taking on more responsibility as time goes by. We look forward to working with her before winter break!
These past two mornings, students began to review their multiplication facts. Grade 4 students practiced their 4 digit addition and subtraction and then played a card game with the grade 5s called multiplication war. If you have a deck of cards at home, you should ask your child to teach you! Our quizzes from last week are marked and ready to come home, I have just been waiting to have the final few students write their quiz before I hand them back as we had several students away on Friday. I will have the students remind me to give them their quizzes tomorrow as they are my best strategy for not forgetting important information.
Today we had our first lockdown practice of the year and our class did fairly well! We had some sillies while waiting in the science storage room, but when you're sitting in a pitch black room with 25 other people, that is to be expected the first time you practice. We discussed strategies that we can use the next time we have a lockdown drill to help us focus and remain quiet in our hiding place.
We continued with our new set of social studies centres after recess. Students who have presented their social studies projects have been handed back their rubrics and should have brought them home to show you by now. Tomorrow will be a science day and students will be participating in Weather Watch review in preparation for our end of unit quiz.
This afternoon we had a presentation from Ms. Lucy from Souperstars and students had the opportunity to cut up vegetables and fruit and then eat a snack bag full of veggies. Our room smelled wonderfully healthy! After this presentation, Ms. Ryan helped students apply all of their punctuation and dialogue tag knowledge to the editing process.
