Homework: Math mystery case due Thursday
Author visit on Thursday

What did we do today?

• Today in math, we learned our morning routine will have a new part to it called mental math.  After our Brain Stretch we are to solve given basic facts.  Some of us have adding and subtracting, some of us have multiplication and the rest have multiplication of double digit numbers.
• In gym, we practiced different skipping skills such as the double bounce and skipping backwards.  We then played Colour Jump Tag again, but this time we could take breaks by pretending we were skipping.  If we got tagged we had to go to the hospital and do a skipping drill that we did today.
• After recess, we had buddies.  We helped them log into the computer and into Starfall.
• After our buddies, we had science.  We had to continue creating our rough draft for our noise pollution posters using our rubric to help us.
• In language arts, the grade 4's got ready to write a creepy story with Mrs. Wilkens.  She gave us a pre-write organizer and we had to make story cubes to make our stories. The grade 3's finished their written SLA answering the question, "If you could go anywhere, where would you go?"  During this time, we also had library.
• At the end of the day, we did our spiderweb art.  Some of us were able to finish and put salt on them to make them look mottled.

2. Will we learn about shapes in math?- yes, later this year.
3. When will we do division in math? -November
4. What will we do next with our buddies?
