Our Wednesday morning kicked off with our January assembly. We were treated to some square dancing entertainment from the Grade 2's and 3's. A thumbs up goes out to those girls and boys!

After assembly, the students worked with their partners on their Prime Minister powerpoint presentations. They are coming along really well and I'm looking forward to seeing what the students put together.

We completed three stations in Math. Students worked independently to show me what 4 different division questions would look like. We also worked at the teacher table to recognize the connection between multiplication and division. Students completed a variety of fact families to demonstrate this connection. Students also had some time at the computer to continue practicing their multiplication facts, as well as their division facts.

I'd like to continue to stress upon the importance of the multiplication facts. Please encourage your child to practice their facts as the facts are going to be an important part of our division unit.

We reviewed the Presentation trait during Writing. The students were shown an example of a piece of writing that needed some work. We discussed what we should change to make that piece of writing more attractive. Students will be choosing a piece of their own next week to improve upon their presentation.

During the afternoon, students continued to work on their Prime Minister projects and had Phys Ed with Mr. Leidl.
