Friday, Feb. 22, 2019


Highlights
Today was our final day with author Cathy Beveridge.

In Math, we talked about expanded notation.  57= 50+7, 14=10+4
One strategy when adding numbers is to use expanded notation:
42+16=?
40+2+10+6 
50+8=48

We were also given some very tricky math problems to try to solve.  Please see the following link for a more detailed description:

In Science, it was finally warm enough for us to go outside and measure the air temperature and the temperature of snow using thermometers.

In Art, we used sponges to paint a background page in our Creative Journals.

Today we read and played a Math game with our grade 4 buddies.

We finished the book Arctic Tale.  We also read the Berenstain Bears and Too Much TV and had a discussion about technology.
