The big event of the week besides possible teachers’ job action is the snowshoeing trip to Mount Seymour.

Some of the students in Div 4 are also organizing a shool wide book swap for the following Monday and Tuesday of next week. We hope to collect old books from all the students over the next week and swap or sell them prior to spring break.

7×8 = using what is called the doubling strategy. It means you see that 2×4=14 double that to 2×14=28 and finally double that to 2×26=56. Why you ask? it helps with developing tricks for mental math and lays some basis for fractions and exponents.

7×9 = using the tens strategy, 7×10=70 take away 7 and you get 63. This reinforces the multiplication by ten and the idea that multiplication is the adding of groups. 7+7+7+7…

Homework was 4,5 and 7 page 182. Next week we are on to multiplying by 10′s to thousands, having and doubling, and multiplying numbers close tens.

This week the class is working on finishing and mailing their letters for the Great Canadian Mail race.

We are also learning about the body and specifically the respiratory system in science.

Lit Circles are in full operation with the students reading many different stories. I hope we will see some of their work posted in the next few days.

In socials the grade 5,s are completing reports on how, why and when different people came to Canada. I am looking forward to the oral presentations next week.
