Wednesday March 6, 2019

Our day in our words...

This morning we did a round of Daily 5.  I read Plants vs. Zombies.  It is a graphic novel.  I am writing a novel about a stranded dog.

In swimming, my favorite part was when we played a game and the instructor asked if we liked different foods.  If we liked that food, we would jump in.  My favourite part was when we did the standing dives because I touched the bottom and got the ring!  I almost sat criss-crossed at the bottom.

In Math we went around the school and looked for different arrays.  An array is like a square or rectangle that have different squares in them.  When you multiply the number of rows by the number of columns, that's how many squares are in the shape.

Ask me About...

what arrays I can find in our house.  Can you challenge yourself to write an addition sentence to go with it?  Can you challenge yourself to write a multiplication sentence too?  We will be working with arrays a lot over the coming days and weeks as we begin to explore multiplication more closely.

Reminders...

Tomorrow is 'Dress As Your Favourite Book Character Day'.  We challenge you to create your costume with things you already have at home.  Please remember that there is no face paint as we are swimming and elaborate costumes may be put on after we return form swimming.

Swimming tomorrow!  Bring your towels and suits.
