Today in Français we added one new rotation to our LaLaLa time: "Lecture Avec Enseignante" (reading with a teacher). We will work with Mme Careen either in small groups or one-on-one to accomplish different reading goals, whether it be word pronunciation, text comprehension, or much more! We will now rotate through the three different "La"s during our daily reading time, having the chance to read independently, with a partner and with Mme at least once each week.
Also in Français, we have started using a graphic organizer to plan our "la paix" poems. After listening to three mentor texts about peace, we have had a chance to reflect on what peace means to us.
We are connecting our five senses (sight, smell, taste, touch, sound) to different memories that bring us peace. Our first drafts will be due at the end of class tomorrow. Mme Careen will be reading over our texts and beginning to make our "la paix" anchor charts to support us through our writing and editing process. We'll keep updating you on our next writing task as we go. Stay tuned!
In Math, we learned a new mental math strategy today: "Divise et Double." When solving a multiplication equation, we can re-balance the equation to create an equation that is easier for our brains to solve!
Ex: 4 x 45
Divide the factor 4 by 2 to get 2. Balance the other factor (45) by multiplying it by 2 to get 90.
The new equation is now 2 x 90.
We can easily double 90 to get 180.
And voilà! 4 x 45 = 180!
Try this same strategy with the following equations: 25 x 6 8 x 35 4 x 65
Happy calculating!
