Today we did a fun cheque activity. I gave the students Toys R Us flyers and they chose one item to buy. They had to write a cheque for the amount as well as show their understanding using pictures, numbers and words.
Great idea Ms. Burton - Snow. Sudents can relate to the content and the activity outlined helps solidify students' understanding of place value and number concept generally! Way to go!
Your teacher has a great class blog. Are you blogging yet? If interested and you still are not blogging, ask Ms. Burton Snow to set you up on wwww.kidblog.org. You can write journal entries there as well as add lots on interesting photos etc. (teacher approved of course!).
We spent a little time yesterday finding our decimal partner. Some students had the number written in words while others had it written in standard form. They liked it so much that they asked to play it a second time!
Yippee!! $55.00 later and my camera is now fixed. I am going to make it a goal to add a couple of photos every day this week. Stay tuned tomorrow for photos of our Fun Day (weather depending of course).
Today the class had the dreaded Grade 4 needle. As a reward for all the suffering, I decided that we would spend part of our afternoon making origami cats. One student in our class is from Japan so she was the teacher. I learned along with the rest of the class. We all had a great time!
