Fantasy Math Reflections

Hello Grade Fives!

Well, we have worked with Fantasy Math for two weeks now and I would like to know how you feel about it. Please tell me about what you liked, what you did not like, what you learned, or what you found difficult or exciting. Tell me anything that will help me to plan a math activity similar to this in the future. I need to know what worked and what did not work for you.

Thank you for your response. Each of you provides valuable information for me.

Love Mrs. French

Special Gifts

Hello Grade Fives,

We all have special gifts but it is sometimes easier to see them in other people. You have probably seen people who make certain activities look easy: examples include skating, playing the piano, spelling accurately, acting or solving math problems.

I would like you to take a moment to think about your special gift. These are often things we find easy or particularly enjoyable to do.

Please respond to this blog by telling me about your special gift and perhaps some examples of when or how you discovered it or know that you have it.

If you need time to think about this question, you may respond later in the week.

Thank you.

Love Mrs. French

Studying

Good morning Grade Fives!

I am interested in your favourite way to study for a test. I would like you to think about strategies you use to help you prepare for quizzes and tests. If you don't have one, please describe a strategy that you think would help you prepare.

Thank you,
Mrs. French
