Literacy
We did not have our word test today because many students had not completed their word work. It was a busy week last week! Make sure you complete all exercises for tomorrow. The sentences are VERY important. I am looking at good word choice, sentence structure, punctuation and of course spelling.

Math
Grade 4
Do you understand the different kinds of division problems? There are grouping, sharing and comparing division problems. In a grouping problem you know the total number, the number in each group, but you don't know the number of groups. In a sharing problem you know the total number, the number of groups, but you don't know the number in each group. In a comparing problem you know that the larger number is so many times larger than a smaller number or the smaller number is a fraction of the the larger number.

Try writing the three kinds of problems using the following numbers:
4, 6, 24

Grade 5
Everyone seemed to understand how to show division problems as fractions. For example, a number is 1/3 of 30. What is the number? If you were to divide 30 into 3 equal groups:

XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX

1/3 of the group would be 10.

Complete your MathUP practice questions. Let me know if you are having any difficulties.

KEEP STUDYING YOUR MULTIPLICATION FACTS!
There seems to be some technical difficulties with Mathletics. I'm looking into it.

Religion
Today we listened and watched the second Easter story.
Where: Upper Room
When: Evening of Easter Sunday, week after Easter
Who: Disciples, Jesus (Thomas absent in first part)

Make sure you complete your summaries of the first and second Easter stories. If you have a Bible:
#1 John 20: 1- 18
#2 John 20: 19 - 29

You can also watch the video clip:
