More division with two digit divisors! We worked today to check our work by multiplying the divisor and the quotient (then adding a remainder if there is one) to get the dividend. We made up the rule: multiply Santa by Gramma and get the toys in the house. See if your child can explain that!
We dug further into the UDHR today, with children becoming experts on different articles of the document. We have been looking at difficult language, summarizing the paragraphs, and visualizing what the world would look like if each article were upheld and what it would look like if that promise was not being kept. Students then met with other groups to teach the points which they had studied and to learn about the others from their classmates. They were impressive!
Our class has been sharing many stories of relatives who are veterans or serving in the military. We took the time today to learn a bit about the branches of the military and to watch a video about the history and principles of Veterans' Day. Children got paper to make cards to thank veterans for their service as a Veterans' Day project.
Tomorrow, Ms. Belle will be out of class. The students pledged to do their best to be respectful and focused for the sub.
