Math
In math, we looked further into symbolic arrays. We also worked on several examples of models and determined whether or not a model represented 24x5. Students had to articulate their reasoning for their decisions. See Seesaw for student work. Looking ahead: traditional algorithm, lattice method, mental math interviews for at least double-digit by single-digit factors. Science We discussed why observations are an important part of the scientific process and elaborated on two different kinds: qualitative and quantitative. We also went over different weather phenomena and discussed what each one was about and what devices are used to measure them. We also started taking daily qualitative observations about the weather and started using a secondary resource for quantitative data. Looking ahead: weather instrument construction Humanities We will continue with the video series "Canada: The Story of Us." Students will be choosing a person or event that was significant in building Canada to research and present in a form of a TED Talk. We're almost finished reading A Fish in a Tree. Please continue to read at home with your child. Throughout the week, students have been editing their own work, along with editing their peers' with the purpose of improving their own writing and editing skills.
