Congratulations to Amber for being the first student to successfully estimate the amount in my jar! Every week, I place a jar on the table for students to practice their estimation skills. Each student may take up to two guesses per day. This week we had grains of rice. I asked them to estimate how many cups of rice were in the jar based on what ¼ of a cup of rice looked like. Amber successfully guessed 4. BRAVO :D I have also sent home the Math text books along with students’ duo-tangs for math. There will be a unit test on Tuesday, April 9th. I will be available Monday at lunch time if students would like some extra help with the multiplication and division strategies we have been working on. In the text, they can practice any questions from lesson 1 (page 72) to lesson 9 (page 104) and questions in the “Montre ce que tu sais” on pages 114-115. THIS IS NOT HOMEWORK! These are simply places to look to practice different questions for the upcoming test as a means of studying. I look forward to meeting with all the parents over the next few days J Mlle. Steeves
