Here is what we did today:

Music: Please see Ms. McMillian's blog for more detail.

Inquiry into Language: We read chapter 5 of our novel study! We really learned a lot about how the times have changed especially in regards to playing and children's behaviour. It was eye-opening for the class.

Recess/Lunch

UOI: We explored school houses and school teacher! This was such great discussion for the class. They were so interested in how different schools and teachers were. We watched some videos and enjoyed our popcorn in the meanwhile! We then worked on some worksheets.

Inquiry into Math: Today we learned about subtraction with 3 and 4 digit numbers! We did many examples on the board about borrowing numbers from our neighbor columns.

For example:

 

Subtract the ones:

Next, we do the tens stripe...  Remember that the 3 is crossed out, so ignore it!  We can't do 2-5, so we'll need to borrow from the hundreds stripe!

Now, we can subtract the tens stripe... and the hundreds stripe:

They also learned how to check their subtraction by using addition!! You take the difference (the answer from the subtraction question) and add it to the smaller number... if it equals the bigger number then you did your subtraction correctly!

Here is what we did today:

Inquiry into Language: We worked on our Spelling Workbooks- Lesson 3 and our cursive letters H and T.

Inquiry into Math: Today we learned 2 ways of adding 3 and 4 digit numbers. The two ways are place value and expanded form addition for 3 and 4 digit numbers. We need to remember to line up the place values and if there is no value in one spot place zeros there to help us line them up correctly (Ex. 2000+000+45+4). We were very confident about today's lesson.

Fall Fundraiser Assembly: Congratulations Noah on being the winner today!!!

UOI: Our lesson was focused on comparing the lives of pioneer children to modern day children. We discussed how methods of travel have changed, how chores have changed and how responsibilities have changed as well. We were so shocked to see children our age having to travel long distances alone and children completing all those chores idenpendently. Here are the links to the videos we watched:

We started to brainstorm the last question as well:
