Marvelous Monday

Today we started off with a special presentation. Ms. Melissa from War Amps delivered a presentation to us today about War Amps and provided some very valuable information on amputees. We learned a lot and the students had a lot of questions.

After we went outside for PE with Mrs. Jans.

After PE we had math. We spent a lot of time exploring as a class and working collaboratively. We first reviewed patterns on a hundred chart and then moved on to extending patterns beyond hundreds counting in 2, 5 and 10's. We realised that the patterns are the same even if the hundreds value increases!!! So if he count by 5's on a hundreds chart, it will be the same pattern on a beyond hundreds chart.

 Jordan is showing us a pattern counting by 5's; he covered the numbers 3,8,13 18, 23, 28, 33, 38, 43, 48. I then covered the hundreds chart for them to figure out the rest of the pattern. They realised the ones pattern is 3,8,3,8,3,8 and the tens pattern is 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4... can you figure out the rest of the pattern?

After we counted we did patterns of 2,5,10 starting and ending at different numbers on the beyond hundreds chart and noticed the same patterns.

Next, we started to explore counting by 25's. I asked them to choose a number that ends in 25 to start with and we decided to start with 125. They worked in partners on their charts to count by 25's. As a class we figured out the pattern visually on the charts and in the place value chart.

Hundreds	Tens	Ones
0	0	0
0	2	5
0	5	0
0	7	5
1	0	0
1	2	5
1	5	0
1	7	5
2	0	0
2	2	5
2	5	0
2	7	5

The one's pattern is 5,0,5,0,5,0...
The ten's pattern is 0,2,5,7,0,2,5,7,0,2,5,7...
The hundreds pattern is 0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3

I added a section for math games related to our unit. The link is on the right side. 

Then they started working in their textbooks. 

Afterwards we had first lunch and recess.

After lunch and recess we took some time to work on our math textbooks.

Then we had music with Mr. Oliver, and French with Mme Stella

Then we had second lunch and recess.

After lunch and recess we wrote agendas since we had our special presentation in the morning.

Here was today's message:

-Read for 20 minutes (RAZ KIDS!!!!!!)
-Math pg. 33 Q1-5 ext. 5-6
-Spelling pg. 10-13
-Cursive pg. 10-11
-Food drive donation
-Book order
-Toonies for Terry

Then we worked on spelling, here is the list of words for this week, the list will stay up in the top right corner:

1) let

2) his

3) had

4) ask

5) old

6) took

7) also 

8) sat

9) fell

10) get

After spelling we worked on cursive writing, the letters: d and g. Then we handed out our homework and agendas and got ready for home. 

Cheers!
