We started off the day completing word processing for Lesson 10 spelling words.

After recess, students took some time to fix the dialogue within their picture stories. We then completed a class activity searching for the "WOW" words in a short story. Students then worked in pairs to hi-light the "WOW" words in a piece of their writing. We will continue to focus on Word Choice throughout December.

In Math, we reviewed yesterday's Halving and Doubling strategy. I have included two short videos of students demonstrating this strategy. This is a new strategy for parents as well so I hope these short videos will help you to help your son/daughter with their homework. We completed Pod's today. Students worked individually to complete a Halving and Doubling review. At teacher table, we worked on a new strategy to break down numbers to multiply. At computers students played Meteor Multiplication

We finished off the day with stations in Social. Students worked on their individual coat of arms, the Canadian coat of arms, and played Canadian Geographic at the computer station.
