Here is what we did today:

French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more detail. https://stjudesfrench-stella.blogspot.com

Inquiry into Language: We completed our Lesson 7 spelling test. Once that was completed, we reviewed our success criteria for writing a letter and then completed our OWA post assessment. For the students who completed their OWA, they were able to do some silent reading.


Recess/Lunch

Inquiry into Math: We started our lesson with our math quiz on multiplying by 9. We proceeded to learn about multiplying numbers by 10, 100 and 1000 and multiples of these numbers. 
When multiplying by 10, 100 or 1000 it's like saying you have 5 tens = 50, or 5 hundreds = 500, etc. You are multiplying your second factor by 1, then adding however many zeros you see in 10, 100 or 1000. When multiplying by multiples of 10, 100 and 1000 you have to multiply the other factor in your multiplication fact by the first digit of you multiple of these numbers (ex. 300 means you multiply the other factor by 3), then add however many zeros you see in the multiple of these numbers Ex. 200 x 8 = 2 x 8 = 16 then add the two zeros from 100 = 1600

 
 
UOI: We gathered with Ms. Foti's class to learn about Buoyancy today. We took up some examples of how to increase and decrease friction to ensure we all understand what this means. Then we individually predicted whether certain items will sink or float in a bucket of water in our chart. After having predicted, we watched a video that explained density and how this contributes to whether objects will sink or float in water. This helped explain the reasoning behind why some of the objects floated and some sank, along with which items are more dense/less dense than the water. 

Here is the video we watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQuW8G2QV_Q

Catch Up on work period: We continued to work on our math, silent reading and our buoyancy worksheet.
