Today was a terrific Tuesday in room 74. During our writing block today we revisited strong verbs and descriptive writing tools, such as alliteration, metaphors and similes. Students dove into various picture books today to look for examples of this. Tomorrow we are excited to share what we found in the various books with the rest of the class, and start to implement these techniques into our own writing.
During math students started to work through various centres designed to help practice our basic facts and mental math. We are learning that in order for us to add 3 and 4 digit numbers effectively, we need to have a good handle of our basic facts. Please spend some time reviewing simple addition and subtraction facts with your child at home. There is also mathletics homework assigned.
Reminders
- Terry Fox Run on Thursday, Sept 24 9:30AM
- Bring in a toonie for Terry
- P/T conferences on Thursday 4-8pm
- P/T conferences on Friday 8am-1pm (no school for students)
