Long Division Card Game

We played this game in math today.  It is a fun one to reinforce the steps of long division!

Each player draws four cards. The first three numbers are the dividend and the last card is the divisor. Both players must work through their division problem. Each player will use a calculator to check the partner's answer. The player with the larger quotient keeps all the cards. Play continues until one player holds all the cards.

June 10-14

Wow!  Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you! To the parents who were able to join us on the field trip and to all the amazing kids you sent me that day to take to Waterton.  The weather was gorgeous!  The learning was engaging!  And of course, the students were awesome! 

It is hard to believe that we only have three weeks left before summer holidays start and still a lot of learning will be occuring.  This week in math we will be finishing up on long division and learning about Venn & Carroll Diagrams.  Social, we continue to find out more about our province.  In science, we will be having a final test on the plant unit and starting a new fun end-of-the-year unit!  In L.A., we will continue to work on our Lorax unit making committments to the environment. 

Education City homework has officially wrapped up for the year.  Thank you for your support at home.  Without practice at home, skills learned at school are easily forgotten.  Education City and RAZ Kids will continue to be available over the summer.

June 3- 7

Wow!  June is here already!  This year has been a great one and I'm excited for our last month together.  My general rule of thumb to the students is that if we work hard all year, we will play in June.  This will be mostly true, keeping structure and routine for the students.  We still have curriculum to cover, only it gets more enjoyable! 

Here is a rundown of what we will be learning this week

• Math - back to division facts and long division
• Social - finishing up the CPR build and reasons why people moved specifically to Alberta
• Science - learning about seed types and how they are dispersed in nature
• LA - doing a debate in support of the Lorax or Once-Ler and then writing a story with what happens next
• Spelling - last week of words and then we will continue with a review

DON'T FORGET!  Grade 4's - I am still in need of some registration forms so that class lists can start being created and also, if you want to join AMA patrol, get your form in soon!

• Last day to sign books out of the library - due next Tuesday
