Students then had opportunities to provide peer feedback to one another and revise their work.  In Math, students continued to work on subtraction and focussed on using a new strategy. We worked on using the open number line strategy which allows students to have more flexibility in solving  when finding the difference. As well, w e continued to practice basic facts in addition and subtraction by playing a game called Race to 0.  This week students completed their collages b ased on the images they collected that connected to education. They then compared the two countries with their own educational experience in Canada looking for similarities and differences and showcasing this through a  Venn diagram.  Later in the week, students work...
