What Did Students Do?

This week, students completed a timed multiplication fact fluency assessment for us to gather baseline data. They began learning about efficient and effective mental math strategies for specific fact families. 0x, 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 3x, 4x. Students practiced these fact families in a variety of ways, through games, individual practice with decks and on multiplication.com games. 

Students also began learning about Remembrance Day and the symbol of the poppy. Students listened to a variety of fiction and non-fiction texts about Remembrance Day and the poppy. They represented their understanding, connections and reflections in a visual journal page. Students also began creating Remembrance Day art. 

Ask Your Child:
