Hi families,
We had another good day today. In the morning, we started to delve deeper into long division. I found this video which probably explains it better than I did earlier today:
Keep in mind that long division is a Grade 4 math concept, and as such I am not expecting grade 3 students to have it mastered. However, the process of long division does involve numerous short division operations, so I think it's still a valuable opportunity to practice skills at the Grade 3 level. Plus, having some exposure to a concept this difficult will certainly help the Grade 3 students next year. Even just a bit of familiarity will feel like a head start.
We revisited our Peru museum, and learned more about the artifacts. We learned that traditional weaving was even used to construct armour for battles!
In the afternoon, the students did Daily LA, Music, and a big cubby clean-up. We also discussed circles and cycles in nature, while learning about The Medicine Wheel.
Please see the previous post about Gymnastics if you haven't already - and have a nice night!
Zac
