We had another busy morning of learning in Room 208 today!
In Math, after reviewing the assessment outline for our upcoming "les nombres entiers" assessment, we learned a new mental math strategy, which, in fact, is quite similar to the last one we practiced. We are still noticing 8s and 9s, but this time with subtraction. This strategy is especially handy when dealing with money, since many prices often end in 0,98$ or 0,99$. Please ask me about this strategy!
In Français today, after we finished our shared write about Shamsia Hassani, we had our very first writing block to get started on our own biography writing. Many of us dove right in and were able to accomplish quite a bit! Over the next few days, we will continue sharing our time between shared writes (where Mme holds the pen and models how to write a paragraph with our guidance) and our independent writing. Our goal by the end of the week is to have our three body paragraphs written so that next week we can focus on the intro and conclusion, as well as the editing process.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates as the week progresses!
We finished our morning with Science and, after we had a chance to celebrate three more Science projects, we learned a bit more about le règne Monère. Next up will be Protiste and Mycète (Fungi). Please ask me what makes the Monera kingdom unique from the others.
