Hello parents and students of Div 02. I hope that you all had an opportunity to stop on Tuesday and take some time to remember those who fought for our freedoms and think about those who continue to fight for us today. It is our responsibility to remember and show respect to the Candian soldiers that we lost. Thanks to all the students that wrote thank you letters and postcards to the men and women who fight for our country..
It was another busy and chopped up week in Div 02. We continued to review concepts already taught and we were introduced to new concepts that we explored. Below is a list of topics discussed this week.
Math- reviewed factors/multiple quiz, reviewed multiplication strategies, compared multiplication to division and explored division strategies. Division strategies discussed were: represented subtraction, equal groups, an array, fact families, number lines. We also had a quiz to assess our understanding of division strategies.
LA- we discussed letter writing and wrote letters to Canadian Soldiers, we started to discuss the 5 stages of the writing process and personal narratives. We started planning for our first personal narrative an "Ouch Story." We also discussed that good readers ask questions when they read and we looked at the differences between thin and thick questions. Finally we continued to practise our daily 5 and had a spelling test.
Gym- we wrapped up our Volleyball unit. We focused on passing, setting, serving and rotations. Next week we will be starting fit camp. Please be prepared to get your heart rate up.
French- we started some basic classroom expressions and we are now using French in our morning meetings. We will work towards preparing a skit in French.
Socials- the students participated in the student vote and listened to a few local candidates running in the upcoming election.
Science- we discussed changes in matter. Physical vs Chemical changes and the 3 states of matter: liquid, solid, gas- there will be a quiz next Friday and we will start our review on Monday.
Art- we had our last work day on our Arcade games. We will now be planning for our celebration.
Have a wonderful weekend! Thank you for all of your hard work!
