Entry for Monday, April 20
Louis Pasteur announced the development of the process of pasteurization on this day in history, April 20, 1864. He was a famous scientist who made numerous discoveries that have helped our lives immensely including medicines that save us from many diseases.
Pasteurization is the process where you heat a liquid in order to kill any germs it may contain. By doing so, the liquid can last much longer. He first tried his experiments on wine.
Math Learning
We are becoming division experts as our unit progresses!
Remember those 12 Easter eggs that the train brought to Mr. Hamer?
Well...there is still one more division equation to contemplate.
What if Mr. Hamer shares the 12 eggs among only one person...himself?
"Oh No!" cry the students. "Oh yes!" cries Mr. Hamer.
He gets to keep them all!
12 eggs divided by one person gives that person 12 eggs.
12 divided by 1 = 12
"Say, that's not fair, Mr. Hamer!"

Check out this "Division Strategies" chart. (Click on the chart to enlarge it.)
We can divide by repeatedly subtracting numbers.
(Just like we were able to multiply by repeatedly adding numbers!")
We can share or we can group our numbers.
Then, finish the sheet you started last Friday by completing the righthand column of divisions...numbers 19 - 36. Click on the image to enlarge it for you to see it better.
(Feel free to ask an adult to set up the numbers for you to answer.)
We are pros at "dividing" ourselves up into pairs to play indoor hockey!
Language Learning
Remember our hamburger "helper" with regard to descriptive writing?
Well, here is another version of it!
We will refer to this chart to help us write another descriptive paragraph on something special...but first......today we will listen to two read-alouds about dogs.
Student Sharing
As always, we have some lovely sharing from Friday's lessons.
Hmmm...it would seem that some other young friend from our class has Easter Eggs as well.
I wonder if the Easter Bunny delivered them by train like at Mr. Hamer's home?
Let's see...I count 12 eggs in the glass bowl.
Ah...Mme Pepe will be happy to see the date and the seasons printed in French.
Check out the division equations...12 divided by 4 = 3.
Then 12 divided by 6 = 2 and 12 divided by 2 equals 6.
I think we will see some examples of these down below.
Oh...look! This young lady's last division equation has a heart beside it. I love it. She is extending her learning, for sure. I bet that example is in the pictures down below as well.
12 divided by 6 = 2 if we think of dividing 12 eggs among 6 people.
Each person gets 2 eggs.
12 divided by 2 = 6 if we think of dividing 12 eggs among 2 people.
Each person gets 6 eggs.
Some more fine examples of division with the third example showing two ways of looking at 16 divided by 2 = 8 and 16 divided by 8 = 2. Bravo!
This example showcases 12 divided by 3 = 4. (12 divided among 3 people = 4 eggs each.)
Or 12 divided by 4 = 3. (12 divided into groups of 4 = 3 groups.)
Aha! I love this example of extending your learning!
When you get into the higher grades you will learn about remainders...or "leftovers".
This example shows 13 divided by 3
Well, we know that there are 4 eggs in the bowls with 1 egg leftover.
We look at it...13 divided by 3 = 4 with 1 leftover
Our young lady is creating a times tables chart that will aid her in both multiplication and division.
Let's use this young girl's chart to illustrate an example.
We know that 2 x 3 = 6 and 3 x 2 = 6
We also know that 6 divided by 3 = 2 and 6 divided by 2 = 3
To verify the multiplication, go to the 3 on the left side of the 3 row where you see a 3 outside the dark line.
Then go to the 2 up top above the dark line. This 2 is the 2 column.
Where the 3 row and the 2 column meet you will find the answer to 3 x 2
Follow along...it is 6. Yes 3 x 2 = 6!
Likewise 2 x 3 = 6.
To verify dividing 6 by other numbers, find the number 6 inside your chart.
Then move along to the two numbers...one to the far left side of the row and the other to the top of the column where 6 is found and you will be given the number 3 and 2 (or 2 and 3)
This means 6 divided by 2 = 3 and 6 divided by 3 equals 2!
Thanks for sharing all those images C.C.
We leave today with this lovely prayer for all of the children across the world.
Have a special day everyone!
Mr. Hamer OCT
Indeed it is Monday. Time to get those books back off the shelf!
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.
This week we will continue our "division" unit in math and finish it up on Friday.
We will write a couple more "descriptive paragraphs" and learn more about adjectives, followed up by a lesson on verbs.
Mme will offer up French ideas for you to learn and practise.
Mr. Hamer will continue to introduce an event that happened each day in history.
Often these events act as excellent springboards to discussion at home.
We will finish up each posting with a short prayer.
Finally, keep your lessons coming in to Mr. Hamer's e-mail inbox...your completed work is fabulous and you should be proud.
Last, but not least, be sure to tell your family just how much they mean to you!
Enjoy your day,!
Mr. Hamer
Today In History
Louis Pasteur announced the development of the process of pasteurization on this day in history, April 20, 1864. He was a famous scientist who made numerous discoveries that have helped our lives immensely including medicines that save us from many diseases.
Pasteurization is the process where you heat a liquid in order to kill any germs it may contain. By doing so, the liquid can last much longer. He first tried his experiments on wine.
A different scientist used Louis Pasteur's methods to come up with a solution for pasteurizing milk almost twenty years later in 1886. Now, milk lasts much longer in our fridges than it did before this important development!
She didn't think that much effort went into the making of milk...nor did anybody else in the class! She's adept with those chopsticks though!
French Learning
Mme Pepe wants you to keep practising the Fernch questions below.
Quelle est ta couleur préférée ?
Ma couleur préférée est.....
Qui est ton professeur de français?
Mom professeur de Français est...
Quel âge a tu?
J'ai 7 ans
Mme also wants you to keep reading the story, "Le Chat"

We can divide by repeatedly subtracting numbers.
(Just like we were able to multiply by repeatedly adding numbers!")
We can share or we can group our numbers.
In the example above we can split numbers into equal groups, show them in arrays, or once again offer up "repeated subtractions". (Click on the chart to enlarge it.)
Math Learning Task #1
Your learning task is to create a chart similar to one of the ones above. Be sure to use a "different division equation" than they showed. Offer three different ways to represent division using your equation. Your chart could be a lot simpler with less words.
Math Learning Task #2
Then, finish the sheet you started last Friday by completing the righthand column of divisions...numbers 19 - 36. Click on the image to enlarge it for you to see it better.
(Feel free to ask an adult to set up the numbers for you to answer.)

We will refer to this chart to help us write another descriptive paragraph on something special...but first......today we will listen to two read-alouds about dogs.
The first one, "Are You Ready For Me" is a lovely story about what you and your family need to do to prepare to own a dog.
The second story, "Harry, the Dirty Dog" is a fun story read by a famous actress, Betty White. I'll bet your grandma and grandpa will know who she is.
Watch both read-alouds before Mr. Hamer gives your activity.

Learning Task
Mr. Hamer is going to share a descriptive paragraph he wrote about his dog, Lilly. Check it out below.
My Dog, Lilly
I love my pet dog so much.
Her name is Lilly and she is a very good guard dog.
The long, brown and white fur on her body looks so pretty.
My friends think she is a crazy dog when she barks and jumps up and down at the door.
Lilly is the best friend I could ever have!

Language Learning Task
Your learning task today is to work with an adult to write a descriptive paragraph on your pet. If you don't have a pet, feel free to select any animal that you would like to write about. (Even if you do have a pet and would prefer to write about another animal, that's okay too!)
"We loved those two dog stories, Mr. Hamer!"
As always, we have some lovely sharing from Friday's lessons.
Hmmm...it would seem that some other young friend from our class has Easter Eggs as well.
