Word of the day: irrelevant
Reminders:
We're going cross country skiing again tomorrow. (The students did really well today - we even tried out a small hill!)
Spelling is due tomorrow.
We began a unit in multiplication in math today. The students seemed very keen - something that will facilitate the memorization of math facts for them. Today we learned that the "x" symbol means "groups of". The students drew pictures depicting multiplication facts and related multiplication to repeated addition. We also started using memory tricks to help memorizing times tables. We learned " 7 x 8 = 56 (5,6,7,8) and 3 x 4 = 12 (1,2,3,4, now you may go out the door!"). Stay tuned for more memory tricks for the times tables from Room 4, where the excitement never ends.....
