The students continued to work on using Story Maps to make predictions during Guided Reading. The students are doing an excellent job incorporating all of the strategies we have discussed about making predictions...from connections to text features!

After recess, we worked through 3 Math stations. At station 1 we practiced the Halving and Doubling strategy. Station 2 was on the computer practicing our addition facts using Xtra Math. We worked at station 3 to discuss a new multiplication strategy, Breaking it Down. We will continue with this strategy next Math class. Super job everyone!!

We are moving onto our next writing strategy, Word Choice, in 6+1 Writing. We completed a Thesaurus activity today with a partner that helped us practice where to find synonyms.

During Social Studies, we worked on finding the origins of 5 different cities/towns in Canada. As we wrap up our Multicultural unit, the students will be receiving a unit review shortly.
