Highlights
What did you learn today?
In music we did rhythm sticks and played on the xylophones.
How did you show what you learned?
We sang the song with the rhythm sticks and metalaphones.
What do you need to learn next?
We need to learn the next part of the song.

We also learned about a new math program that we are going to start:MNM which stands for Multiplication Ninja Monday. Students must practice certain multiplication facts in order to earn belt colours. Practice websites are in the links section. Students must practice their facts at home, in any way that works for them, and may try the practice test at home as many times as they would like. In order to earn their belt (which is actually a bead) they must complete the test at school on a Monday. The first belt is white and students must complete the 1's and 5's and achieve 100% in under 4 minutes to achieve their belt. Once they have achieved their orange belt, they will get their ninja pencil. Mondays will be belt testing day. Students must move through the levels in order to achieve their black belt of multiplication.
