(Review) word of the day: liberty
Reminders:
1. If you haven't done so already, please send a paint shirt to school for those messy art projects we always seem to have on the go. (If you want to drop in to see our latest art creations, they're on the bulletin boards outside our room. Grade 23 is FULL of creativity!)
2. Spelling test tomorrow
3. Library book exchange tomorrow
4. A newsletter was sent home with the family heads today.
5. Please sign and return the science test that went home today.
We reviewed expanded notation today in math class: writing/reading numbers such as 4,780 and 4,078 and 4,708 - and then broke the numbers into their components. An example would be 6,089 = 6,000 + 0 + 80 + 9. We also practised solving equations like the following: 3 + 4 = _ + 5. To solve this kind of question, the students first asked themselves, "What do I know about this question?" They should then recognise that they know what 3 + 4 add up to, and that they know that = means "equal", so both sides of the equal sign must be equal. The answer, therefore, must be 2.
We've also been working on math facts practise and have concentrated on the addition facts that use 9 or 2 as one of the addends.
In Language Arts, we expanded our list of homonyms (words that sound the same but have different meanings and different spellings). We also reviewed quotation marks, and worked on our novel studies.
