TGIF!!

Happy FriYAY!!

UOI/ Language: Today students completed their pre-assessment for the Ontario writing assessment. Students works individually and brainstormed and then wrote a report about how life would be like without electricity.

Once they completed their report they were able to choose a flag from a Canadian province or territory and colour it so we can hang it in our classroom.

We would also like to  fill our UOI board with post cards from different provinces and territories in Canada. Students are encouraged to ask friends and/or family that live in another province or territory to send them a post card to add to our UOI board. We would love to add some to our board!

Math:  To we practiced rounding numbers in math centres. 

Centre 1: Roll and round. Students rolled three dice, recorded the numbers and then rounded them to the nearest ten and hundreds.

Centre 2: Task cards. Students were able to work as a pair or individually on 4 task cards of their choice. They rounded a 4 digit number, placed a number on a number line, rounded 3 or 4 digit numbers to the nearest hundred, and then solved a word problem.

Centre 3: Individual work. Students worked through the text book answer the questions individually.

Centre 4: Work with the teacher. At centre 4 students worked with me clearing up any misconceptions, discussing how answers were right or wrong and we took up homework. 

Each group was able to rotate around once. It was a successful first try at the math centre Friday!

Continue practicing rounding with the game below!
