Wednesday, March 30

 Hi parents,

We had another good day today!

In the morning, the students worked on math problems that involved filling in blanks to make 10, 100, 1000, and even 10,000! 

For example,

4 + __ = 10

40 + __ = 100

400 + __ = 1000

'Making Ten' is a great mental math strategy that can help students solve 2-digit addition problems in their heads.

We went outside for gym and the class learned how to play Hopscotch and Four Square. I'm hoping that having a stronger understanding of these games will help students make the most of our school's compound, which has plenty of games painted on it. Recess will be more fun than ever.

The students read about the natural resources found in Meteghan, and some of the good and services there as well. They answered comprehension questions while working in buddies.

Our afternoon was once again dedicated to art. This time the students both sketched and began painting their Giving Tree inspired artwork, which we are doing as part of an Art Card fundraiser. They're looking great so far!

Thank you once again to everyone who has volunteered for our Zoo trip, I am in the process of double checking everyone's volunteer status with the office and I apologize for not emailing you back sooner! We are also working hard to get the field trip forms completed so they can be sent home ASAP.

Have a nice night,

Zac
