We started the day off with a visit to the Library for a book exchange.
When we returned to class we read the morning message and identified all the mispelled words. We then watched a breif video from the Jewish Children's Museum on the story of Hannukah. We then returned to our desks and made new temperature graphs for December.
After recess we introduced the idea of multiplication. Looked at repeated addition, and we also looked at the "x" as a symbol. In the number sentence 3x4... we read it as 3 groups of 4. We drew pictures to show what this means. The first number is the number of groups... the second number is how many things in each group. We then added a repeated addition sentence. 3x4= 4+4+4 . I also introduced the term
product, more for the Grade 3's.
After recess we read the story Oonga Boonga and did drawing to go with it for our visit with Baby Teagan tomorrow. It was about what maked a baby cry and how we can understand that babies cry and it can get frustrating for people.
Ms. Jean popped in to say hi, and while we were doing our Literacy Groups so that was a nice help today.
We also read another chapter of Matilda. She added peroxide to her fathers hair tonic and his jet black hair is now a dusty grey colour.
After recess we talked about Traditions and Celebrations. we completed a sheet to the best of our ability and the sheet was sent home so that parents could add some more detail in terms of geographic heritage, languages, cultural foods, religion etc.
