Magnificent Monday!

We began the day writing out our unit 6 spelling words and showing our understanding in our spelling workbooks.

Students then had physical education with Ms. Lovan.

When students returned, we continued our inquiry into the media. We reviewed our “media in-a-day tally” sheet and charted our results. We noticed that logos came up the most. We reviewed the different logos that we see in a day.

 Examples of logos

Afterwards, we looked at four different types of media and discussed the message and purpose:

Mcdonalds commercial
Marineland radio commercial
Toys R Us Flyer

In math, we were estimating with large numbers. We looked at a picture of people using paddles and we estimated how much we thought there was. 

As we counted by 2’s, we decided if we wanted to change our estimate; students also counted the paddles by five. Students then created addition and subtraction stories and sentences for another picture that had 20 men paddling and 2 playing music on a boat.

Addition story: There are 20 people paddling on a boat. 2 more are playing music on a boat. There are 22 people all together on the boat.

Addition sentence: 20+2=22

Subtraction story: There are 22 people paddling on a boat. 2 decide to dance and play music. Now there are 20 people left paddling the boat.

After first recess and lunch students had French.

When students returned they wrote their homework in their agenda’s and completed any unfinished work.

During second lunch, we listened to a multiplication song. We began with the number two. Watch us sing:

After lunch we completed the Learner profile and attitude for the month. The learner profile is knowledgeable and the attitude is independent. We will continue working on these tomorrow.

During visual arts, we began working on making a witch’s face.
