We’ve been doing some great thinking in Math this week as we practised skip-counting, repeated addition and making equal “groups of” different numbers. To help build a strong conceptual understanding of multiplication, we’ve used unifix cubes to make lots of equal groups and played several different games – our favourite: Yahtzee, a game filled with multiplication! It's basketball season! Basketball is a fast-paced game that involves lots of different locomotor and movement skills, including dribbling, shooting, passing, and jumping. To develop our skills, we’ve been designing drills that we will give to classmates who have a variety of different skill levels. Part of this involves giving specific feedback to peers to help them improve. We were excited to get a letter in the mail inviting us to participate in the Great Canadian Mail Race. After having so much fun sending and receiving postcards during the Global Read Aloud last fall, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to participate. A great way to practice letter writing! We all wrote letters to other grade 4 students in hopes of getting a response. The student who receives the first letter back wins! The 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang are less than a week away! We had fun learning about the meaning of the Olympic rings. We knew that the five rings represented continents, but we didn’t realize that the interconnectedness of those rings represents the union of athletes around the world. We also didn’t realize how hard it is to make your own interconnected Olympic rings! We did a great job helping each other and giving it our best shot :)
