First Day of Term 2!

Happy Monday, friends of learning!
We had a busy morning of learning together as we welcomed Term 2!

In Math, we learned how to break down numbers into a product of their prime factors using factor trees. You can do this with any non-prime number. 42? Sure! 100? You bet!
Please ask me to show you how it's done!

In Français, we worked in small groups to summarize the article, "Dia de los muertos," an article that we had originally read around Halloween. After reviewing some of the tougher vocabulary as a class, we reread the article before getting started with our writing. We used the "Je résume" graphic organizer to help us plan out our writing and choose appropriate transition words. All groups collaborated well together to accomplish the task. Bravo!

Finally, in Science, we learned the true identity of our Tomato groups! Dah dah-dah daahhhh....
Group J was the control group and Group K was the group of seeds that spent 6 weeks on the I.S.S. last summer! The majority of the class had identified the groups as such, proving that we have some super scientists amongst us!
