Science Fair Thursday!

Today's agenda notes are:
-Raz Kids for 20 minutes
-Spelling pg. 53-57
-Cursive up to pg. 55
-Sign and return math test
-Cultural flag research due Dec 4
-Write one sentence for each spelling word


After we practiced for our science fair!

Then we went to PE with Mrs. Jans.


After PE we had math.
We started off reviewing what arrays are and formed arrays as a class.
We arranged ourselves into two rows of seven.
We figured out the multiplication sentence:


2x7=14
2 rows of seven children
then added someone on at the end and discussed why it no longer is an array. The reason is because it no longer has equal rows and columns.
I love the all the difference face expressions here


Then we reviewed what factors are and the product.

Then we moved on to today's lesson which was: using multiple strategies to multiply by 2 and 5.

We started off discussing the multiplying by 2 and 5 is like skip counting. So we practiced skip counting by 2's and 5's together.

We used a number line to help solve 2x7
We counted by 2's seven times and then stopped. The number we stopped on was our product.
We also looked at how you can flip the factors but the product will be the same, so we counted by 7's two times.

We repeated this again for 5x4. We counted by 5's four times to get to 20.

After we practiced using a hundreds chart to figure out 2x8. 

So all of the ways we have learned to solve multiplication so far are:
-Arrays
-Equal groups
-Hundreds chart
-Number line

After we worked on our worksheets.

Then we went to first lunch and recess.

When we returned it was our judging time for the science fair!
The students sang our version or "Let it go' as "Let it Grow"
We each remembered our line of the script and rehearsed it CONFIDENTLY to the judges.
Well done!!!!!







After we watched Miss. Jaskolka's class perform.

Grade job Grade 2's!

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


After it was second lunch and recess. When we returned it was time for us to go visit all of the other science fair projects. Great job St. Jude's and all the students in grade 4-6 on their science fair
projects!
