Entry for Friday, April 17
Mrs. Hamer liked this photo and shared it with Mr. Hamer.
Remember that some of the images will enlarge when you click on them.
The student sharing images certainly do and many Mr. Hamer took himself do!
Today in History
On April 17, 1997, Martin Brodeur scored a goal in the NHL.
Lots of players score goals, but it is very rare for a goalie to score a goal!
Check it out at the link below.

You may recognize Martin Brodeur from a few TV commercials.
Along with his sons.
He is a happy man with a big smile on his face.
And...he should be happy. Check out all of the NHL trophies he has won.
Note: He scored that goal against the Montreal Canadiens, a team he grew up watching on TV as a child! Only 10 goalies have ever scored NHL goals and two of them did it twice, including Martin Brodeur!

Math Learning
We continue with our focus on Division.
Remember yesterday when Mr. Hamer divided 12 Easter eggs among three students?
Each student received four eggs.
...and ended up with three groups of four.
So...12 divided by 3 = 4.
Let's start with 12 eggs again.
This time we divide them among four students.
Each student now has three eggs.
12 divided by 4 = 3
That's four groups of three.
Today we will be sharing the 12 eggs with six pupils...like you did in your work yesterday.
Mr. Hamer first hands out one egg to each of the six pupils.
Then a second egg.
Each pupil now has two eggs.
12 divided by 6 = 2.
Likewise, we can divide the twelve eggs between two children.
Each child receives six eggs.
12 divided by 2 = 6
So far today we have divided 12 by 2, 3, 4 and 6.
Check out these two division videos.

Ahhh...what a cutie!
It was wonderful meeting 15 of our 21 students on-line yesterday.
Mme Pepe and I are both so proud of all your efforts.
Great sharing of your work as well!

Listen to the song about the seasons in French and write the seasons in French.

These four equations represent the Easter Egg sharing from above.
Now, study these ten examples of divisions.
There are two ways you can look at each problem.
12 divided between 2 people which equals 6.
Thus we have "shared" the 12 eggs between the two people.
This is often referred to as "Division by Sharing."
Or...12 divided into groups of 2...which still equals 6!
This is often referred to as "Division by Grouping."
Either way, you arrive at the same answer!
Learning Task
Pick three out of the 10 questions above.
Draw the objects on your paper.
Circle the groups to help you solve the division equations.
Feel free to do the work with "sharing" or with "grouping" in mind. You decide.
Then copy numbers 1-18 on your page and write down the answer.
Feel free to use some form of counters to assist you (blocks, cubes, coins, etc.)
Remember 0 divided by any number is 0.
Any number divided by itself is 1. ( 6 divided by 6 = 1)
Any number divided by 1 is the number. (8 divided by 8 = 1)
Language Learning
Adjectives describe people, places and things.
This means that adjectives describe nouns.
Today Mr. Hamer will share with you how we use adjectives in our writing.
This is called descriptive writing.
Writing a Descriptive Paragraph
The image above offers a great example for writing a descriptive paragraph.
First, you begin with a topic sentence which tells what you will be describing.
Then, you write a sentence that helps describe the object.
Next, you write another sentence which adds further detail.
Following that, you add one more sentence adding one more item which describes what you are writing about.
Finally you wrap up your paragraph offering "the big picture" about your topic.
Below is an example Mr. Hamer created about the season of spring.
Look for the many adjectives he used. (Click on the image to make it larger.)
Mme Pepe is happy!
A fabulous sample...
...of division with baking!
I want one of those cookies!
Cool stuffies! I like all the different ways we can divide 12.
Such wonderful examples of our season sentences.
And...a wonderful way to showcase a division equation.
12 little ones divided among six larger ones!
12 divided by 6 = 2
Each bigger one gets two smaller ones!
Love it! M.S.
These next few examples showcase what can be found in some wonderful workbooks or printed off the internet!
Lovely work.
Super effort. Bravo...Mme will be excited to see this page!
Way to go!
Loving it!
Have a great weekend everyone and God bless!

Below is an example Mr. Hamer created about the season of spring.
Look for the many adjectives he used. (Click on the image to make it larger.)
Let's look at the first sentence (Topic Sentence in the hamburger bun)
It informs the reader that, along with the title, we will learn something about spring.
Now, check out the next three sentences (the tasty things you place inside your hamburger).
Each sentence describes some aspect of spring.
Finally, read the last sentence (Conclusion sentence in the hamburger bun)
It relates to the topic sentence and everything you wrote about the topic. It sums everything up nicely.
Adjectives Mr. Hamer used.
or...describing words in the descriptive paragraph
beautiful describes season
green describes grass
colourful describes flowers
shining describes sun
Learning Task
Select one of the four seasons. With the guidance of an adult, write a five-sentence descriptive paragraph about that season. Don't forget to write the title like Mr. Hamer did! Have an adult take a picture to e-mail to Mr. Hamer!
