Inquiry into Language: For today's lesson, we took a look at the letters we wrote yesterday in class. As a class, we created success criteria for writing a letter about rules and routines. Using the success criteria we created we edited our letter first individually and then used the same checklist to peer edit our letters.

Inquiry into Math: Today we started with the day with our quiz on the multiples of 4s and 5s. We absolutely love this mini 10 minute drills! Our focus today was on fact with 0, 1 and 9. We learned that any factor multiplied by 0 the product will always be ZERO.  

 We learned that when multiplying 1s, the product will always be the other factor. (Kind of like 1 is a mirror)

We looked at some fun multiplication tricks when multiplying by 9. Here is a great video on how to do the hand trick I taught them:

Here is another trick I taught them:

Please practice these at home with the homework. They are also in the duotang.

UOI: We got together with Ms. Foti's class today to learn about Friction. We predicted some reasons as to why certain things happen, watched a video about friction, then completed an experiment. Our activity revolved around determining which material would cause more friction and therefore slow the car down more than the other materials. Students then recorded what they discovered.
