We will be having a Science Quiz on Thursday.  Here is a link to a review sheet covering the concepts of the unit we have studied.  Hearing and Sound Review

In math we continue to practice multiplication.  Please take time to review your basic multiplication facts.  Here is a video explaining multi-digit multiplication.  A practice sheet has been included.

In math we looked at how to multiply single digit equations using pictures and arrays.
Ex: 4 x 3 =  A)  4 groups with 3 in each   B)  4 rows with 3 in each column.

Ask me how to illustrate these for you.

These methods are really slow when multiplying 2 digit x 1 digit equations.

For Monday, see if you can research a quicker method of multiplying large numbers you can then teach the class.

*** Reminder that the Grade 3/4 Sharing Assembly is tomorrow at 2:00pm.***

Today in math we learned the 6 through 9 multiplication tables.  Please work on committing these basic math facts to memory.

***There will be a quick quiz on Friday on all multiplication facts up to 9x9**

We worked hard on problem solving with sums and multiples.  Here are two challenges we worked through.  See if you can work with me on solving the second challenge!!

  

Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day!!  Please wear clothing that is pink to support the Healthy Relationships / Anti-Bullying Campaign.http://www.pinktshirtday.ca/

We continued to learn about empathy today.  We were partnered up and came up with a greeting we can use every day as well as a secret handshake.  Ask me to show you the handshake we came up with.

Reminder that there is no school Thursday, Friday and Monday.

Today we researched about tonight's upcoming lunar eclipse.  Ask me what I learned about a lunar eclipse, and how it differs from a solar eclipse.

We also painted a work of art that is our interpretation of an eclipse.  We used the concepts we are familiar with from a Venn Diagram to create our pieces.  Stay tuned for pictures when we have them complete.
