Wednesday, November 27th 2019 - 4 

- In Mathematics, students combined our flexible strategies to find the product. Ex. 38 x 2 could be solved by rounding 38 to 40. Then subtracting two groups of two. 40 x 2 = 80, 80 - 4 = 76. Students then reflected upon everything they knew about a quadrilateral shape they choose. 
- In Social Studies, students continued to identify the verb "avoir/have" in their text. Then they underlined the verb after avoir. Students examined the pattern. When writing in past tense, the verb avoir is in front of another verb. That verb usually ends in é. Students then worked on their presentations. 
- Students participated in physical education and reading centers. 
- Ask me what I did in English!
