After we had a class read aloud, the story we read today was 'The Shoemaker and the Elves'

As we read we answered we make predictions, clarified new words, asked questions for comprehension, and summarised what we read. This is reciprocal reading.


After we went to PE with Mrs. Jans.


When we returned we started our math review. We reviewed the big ideas we learned this unit which included

-Multiplication as repeated addition
-Modeling multiplication as arrays and equal groups
-Modeling division as arrays
-Relating multiplication and division
-New vocabulary including factors, product, dividend, divisor, quotient

Students received their review package and are asked to complete up to pg. 3. We will be doing review again tomorrow.

After we went to French.


Then we went to second to lunch and recess.


After recess, some students finished up their cultural flag then we moved on to our next UOI lesson which is learning about how birthdays are celebrated in different countries.

First we read the text together and discussed what non-fiction means and that we are learning facts.

We read about each country together and briefly wrote a few notes and pictures to help our memory. After students paired up and worked on their 'Birthdays around the world' quiz in partners. They were given a copy of the text to re-read and answer the comprehension questions.

Just a few samples

After we got ready for home!
