Mrs. Nayyar's son came to school this morning for 'Take Your Kid to Work Day'. It was a lot of fun having a tall grade 9 student in our classroom.
In math, we worked more on repeated addition and how it related to multiplication. Have your child figure out the following multiplication questions using repeated addition.
example: 5 x 4 can be read as: Add 5 four times (5 +5+5+5=20)
3 x 5
2 x 4
5 x 6
4 x 4
In writers workshop, we looked at how to grab our reader's attention with our opening sentence. Ask your child what those different methods are (question, fact, dialogue, sound, action, problem). Tomorrow we will try to incorporate one of those beginnings into our next writing piece.
We looked at the poem, In Flanders's Fields and thought about what it meant to us.
In Flanders Fields
BY JOHN MCCRAE
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
