Fantastic Friday!!

We began the day having French with Mdm. Stella.

After we had our spelling test and then wrote our homework in our agendas.

When students were finished, we continued presenting our commercials:


After first recess and lunch, we had physical education with Ms. Lovan.

When students returned, we dedicated a whole hour to Math so that we can understand and become better at counting money. We are getting so much better!!
We first discussed how many cents are in each coin (penny, nickel, dime, quarter, loonie, and toonie). We then discussed how we could use various coins to make a loonie and toonie (ex: we can use four quarters to make a loonie). Afterwards, we practiced counting money; we discussed that the easiest way to count coins is to start with the largest amount first. For example, if we have 2 nickels, a dime, and a quarter we would:
Start with the quarter first biggest it is worth the most: 25
Then we would add on a dime (so we would add 10 cents)
Then we could add 5 (nickel) and 5 (nickel)
or some students added the 5 and 5 together and then added on 10.
We then figured out the coins that we would need to buy various objects.
After we practiced our addition skills: we were given four objects and we needed to figure out which three we could buy with 95 cents.

After second recess and lunch, we wrote our last page of our report card. This is what we wrote about:
This term I learned about….
