Happy Monday!

It's the last week of Term 1!

We're going to have a busy week finishing up 'this n' that' to ensure Mme has the best overall picture of our learning in time for report card writing this Friday! Wish us luck! :)

In Math this morning, working in randomized groups at the whiteboard, we tackled a question about hotdogs and hotdog buns. How silly is in that hotdogs come in packs of 12 and the buns come in packs of 8?! How many of each would we need to buy of we didn't want any waste and were hosting a party of around 100 people? Please ask we how my groups tackled this problem. What did we find?

Friday!

Hello, everyone!

With the end of Term 1 fast approaching, we are busy each morning trying to finish up a variety of tasks in Math, Science and Français.

In Math, we are continuing to work with factors and multiples and are getting ready for our first assessment next week. We will continue working to review a variety of questions and word problems so that we are confident in applying our skills.

Today in Science, we completed a dichotomous key assessment using dried beans!
After brainstorming with our groups yesterday in class to create a word bank on the whiteboard, we got to work today sorting beans by asking a set of specific questions. We look forward to sharing our "bean keys" with you Tuesday evening at our Celebration of Learning!

To finish off our morning in Français, we did a listening activity about eating insects (ewww!) and then had a chance to work with Mme Champagne to finish off the resume of our Suresh article. We will now complete a set of comprehension questions about the article to show what information we can pull from an article after reading and studying it as a class.

Bravo to everyone for a great morning of learning! :)

Wednesday

Hello, friends of learning!
We had a great morning of learning today!

In Math, we continue to practice our mental math strategies and have started solving one question using two different strategies. We've been practicing this approach by first solving a mental math question using a strategy with which we are familiar, and then conferring with a classmate to see what strategy they chose. After using both strategies, we decide which one we prefer and explain why. This will help us practice a variety of strategies and learn that a toolbox of many different mental math strategies will help become more efficient when calculating a variety of math equations.

In Français, we are practicing our listening skills by answering a set of questions when Mme reads a text aloud. Today our text was about a baking attempt that didn't turn out as planned. Also in Français, we are finishing up our work with our Suresh article and will soon be attempting our next article using "les 4 fantastiques" in a group without Mme's guidance.

Finally, in Science, we celebrated the remaining Science Design Process projects and also took some time to observe our tomatoes. Most of our seeds have germinated and many plants are starting to grow more leaves! VERY exciting! Our last official observation day for our Tomatosphere experiment will be Monday of next week, and then we will start analyzing all the data we collected to make one final prediction of which group is which before we send off our results!
