2. Math - Many students are still having difficulty with their multiplication tables. Being confident with foundational multiplication facts is essential to successfully participate in upcoming concepts. 

Please check in with me: How am I feeling with my multiplication facts?

Spending a short time each evening reviewing will have a big impact. Stacking this task before/after daily reading will ensure it doesn't get forgotten.

How can I practice at home? Flash cards (the triangle ones are the best, in Mme's opinion), multiplication war card game, online games, etc. The best type of practice in the kind you'll do consistently.

Math Flower Bouquets!

Today in Math, we worked at the white boards in randomized groups of 3 to find solutions to the following problem:

Please ask me about my group's strategy. Where did we start? How did we know what concept might apply in this situation?

Different groups approached the question in different ways, but we all at arrived at least one solution. How many/What type of bouquet did my group figure would be best? Why do we choose that as the best solution? How many other options did we find?

100 Day!

 

Hello, friends of learning! Happy Thursday! Happy 100th day of school!

We had a great morning celebrating 100 days of learning together!

First up, an "Aimerais-tu...?" (Would You Rather) activity.

Some of the votes were pretty close (100 oranges vs 100 bananas, 100 chocolates vs 100 candies) but in the end we voted for 100 friends! Fun!

Next up, Mme 's FAVOURITE activity, "Le défi de 100 secondes!" How many push-ups and chair sits can you do in 100 seconds? How many times can you print your name or hop on one foot? After estimating our totals, we put ourselves to the test to see if our predictions were correct!

Watch us in action by clicking these links:

NOMS, POMPES, CHAISES, CHIFFRES, SAUTER

We finished our celebration with a 100-Day-Amazing-Race challenge.

Amazing Race in progress: CLICK HERE

And finally, the BEST (?!?) part of the morning was Mme taking our picture using the AgingBooth app! Ha! We are all going to age beautifully!

Here's to 100 more days of learning and fun in Room 208! :)

Devinez-vous par ce Haiku? (and weekend agenda items)

Hello! Happy Friday!

Today in Français started writing our Devinez-vous par ce Haiku, based on a object or character from the Le Chandail de Hockey story.

We are tasked with writing 3 separate Haiku and conferencing with 2 classmates before choosing the 1 Haiku that we'll revise, edit, publish and present to the class.

Please ask me: what subjects am I considering for my Haiku? How many drafts was I able to complete in class today? Did I try to include an Onomatopoeia and avoid the list of "mots intérdits?" What are my next steps?

Stay tuned for more Haiku news!

Have a great weekend! :)

Today was our school-wide "J'aime lire" assembly.

We saw a picture montage of students reading set to the tune, "What Does the Fox Read?", we were treated to a teacher read aloud of the story La tignasse de Max, we participated in a word-scramble game and we had the chance to "oubliez tout et lire."

What a fun way to spend a Wednesday! 📚

And we're back!

Hello! Happy February!

After an unexpected week-long blog hiatus, we are back with a round up of all that we've been up to in Room 208!

In Math, we have been working on multiples, finding the ppcm, and applying this concept to a variety of work problems. Today, we began adding factors in the mix.

We have also been adding to our multiplication mental-math repertoire.

We continue to start our Math periods with a variety of class 'starters' and added a new one to our list last week:

Incorporating a variety of class-starters into our daily math routines allows us to apply our thinking and explain our ideas in a variety of ways to different groups of people.

In Français, we have moved into our Hockey theme. Over the past two weeks, we have learned about Maurice Richard and watched the well-known story Le chandail de hockey (The Hockey Sweater.) This story will be the inspiration for a short Haiku writing task (more info coming soon) and will lead into our first novel study of the year (more info coming on that soon, too!).

Please ask me about Maurice Richard and Le chandail de hockey. What did I learn about Maurice Richard that surprised me? What part of the Le chandail story was my favourite?

Looking forward to a great week and a jam-packed month ahead!
