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!
