The Grade 3 and 4s continue to explore mental math strategies, such as blank number lines to show addition when solving subtraction questions in Grade 3, and comparing fractions in Grade 4.
Mini whiteboards are a wonderful tool to encourage participation and to show mathematical thinking.
Great strategies, girls!
The Grade 2s have a special focus in their classrooms each day – Mindful Mondays, Thoughtful Tuesdays, Wishful Wednesdays, Thankful Thursdays and Funny Fridays.
Bianca wrote this in her Gratitude Journal when reflecting on how she would be mindful:
Saffy wished that “there would be no cancer in this world”.
Danielle wished that “there was no need for Canuck Place”.
Ella shared a funny joke on Friday: “Why did the scientist put a knocker on his door?” Because he wanted to win the No-bell Peace prize!”
Starting each day with a focus on what we are thankful for or with some humour really sets a positive tone for the day. Thank you Grade 2!
