We completed Day 2 of Centers this morning.

After recess, we worked on our Voice Fairy Tales. Students continued to work through the writing process in writing their own version of The Three Little Pigs from the voice of the wolf. We will be posting these stories on the students' blogs.

After lunch, we worked in Pods to review Division before our test tomorrow. One group worked with Mrs. Gale to practice problem solving in Division. Another group worked with me to review the long division strategies and correct last week's assignment. At computers, students played Math Frog to practice long division. Tomorrow is our Division unit test. Study hard!! Components of the test include:
1. Identify parts of a division question
quotient, divisor, dividend, remainder
2. Estimation - Front end rounding, Compatible numbers
3. Long division - Repeated subtraction, long division

To finish off the day, we worked on our Canadian Hero paragraphs. We also took some time to work on our Canada: Our Country research packet.
