Agenda:

2 Homework: Social Studies Tunisia Picture
Problem of the Day and corrections
3 Multiplication Ninja Math starts in 2 weeks. Here is the on line timed multiplication test that we will be using to do our ninja math. http://www.multiplication.com/quiz/multiplication-self-correcting-quizzes
4 Science Fair viewing tomorrow
5 Winter Walk Day tomorrow - please dress for the weather
6 I forgot to add, if you have a rock at home that you can bring for Science tomorrow, please bring it with you.
Highlights
What did you learn today?
We learned that we are doing Ninja math in two weeks.
How did you show what you learned?
We will get a times table to study every two weeks. This means that we have to TRAIN OUR BRAIN by practicing at least 5 minutes per day. Grade 3 will be starting with 1-5 facts and grade 4 will start with the 6 times table. If you get to the 12 x table and earn your black bead you will get the coveted Ninja pencil. In order to get your bead you must get 100% in under 2 minutes for each times table and prove it to your Sensei (Ms Cowdy).
What do you need to learn next?
We are going to do a pretest in multiplication before we start Ninja math and then when we have finished we will do a post test. We hope to see that our marks improve after we have TRAINED OUR BRAINS.
