What did we do today?

• This morning in math, the grade 3s learned a multiplication strategy called equal grouping.  The grade 4s played a game called the amoeba multiplication game.  You can find it at http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/maths/ma12pape/game/ma12pape-game-written-multiplication/multiplication.swf.  They also learned the method to multiply called the lattice method.
• In gym, one group showed their routine. Today was our last day practice, as we will be performing them on Monday.
• For Read Aloud, Ms. Jones read us more from the story The Mystery of the Frozen Brains.  In the story Marty is sneaking Remi into his parent's store.
• After our read aloud we had music, where we practiced our Remembrance Day song without the words.  Tomorrow we will be practicing with Room 5.  After that, we continued to practice our rhythm cups karate.
• In language arts, we worked on our spooky stories.  If we finished, we had to COPS our work and share it with a friend.  After editing, we were able to type it out on the computer.
• For Daily 5, we got to choose one of three reading options and we had to work on completing an activity after.
• In social studies, we continued working on our fossil observations and inferences, which will be handy for tomorrow.

Questions:
1. Will we actually find some fossils in the Whispering Woods?
2. How much food will we be able to donate to the Veteran's Food Bank?
