Tuesday, February 4th 2020 - Day 5

- Students participated in Physical Education, music and centers.
- In Mathematics, students learned about division that requires a procedure such as long division. We practiced dividing the larger questions using manipulatives (base ten blocks) and then we compared them to the procedure. Students reflected upon which would be more efficient. (If we didn't have a calculator 😆😅...nice try!)
- Students continued to practice conjugating their verbs in their research notes to imparfait after playing a game to review the common verbs we will use most often during this project. Students identified the different endings of verbs conjugated singular and plural pronouns. Students then continued their research. AA noticed a pattern! He stated that the verb we should use in our answers was already written properly in the questions.
- Students meet with their peers to develop and practice a cheer. We will be sharing our cheers tomorrow and deciding on which we would like to use during our Carnaval kick-off.
- In ELA, students read the 3rd chapter of our new novel study Eyewitness. Eyewitness is a historical fiction about the fur trade and the HBC in what is now British Colombia. Students are learning about the way of life of  the First Nations and Métis people with the fur traders of the HBC. Tomorrow, students will be studying archives from the Royal Museum of British Colombia and the real events that transpired. We will be examining records about the events that transpired.

Homework: January 13th 2020 to February 6th 2020
Students have a book report sheet to fill out based on their reading.
Student choose their books last week from the library.
Students are to hand in their work by the 6th and be prepared to share their work.
