 Hi parents,

Happy "Smart IQ Day"😂

We had another great day today. In the morning, the students went to a special lesson with Ms. Rooke and Ms. Watson, and talked about the meaning of 'belonging'. After that, they wrote sentences with their spelling words, and then we continued working on multiplication in math. The Grade 4s are absolutely crushing it with 3-digit by 1-digit multiplication, which makes me overjoyed. Usually it's a concept I don't teach until after the break. By learning it now, they'll be able to continue practicing it throughout the rest of the year, and I'm sure it will be second nature by June.

This is how the Stamp Game helps students visualize complex multiplication!

In the afternoon, we did Daily LA, and then started an Alberta Badlands-inspired art activity. The students will be painting Badlands landscapes and focusing on the beauty of the layers of rocks.

Have a nice night,

Zac
