Marvelous Monday!!

Family Tree Presentation:

Students are to complete the two sheets going home today for Friday. Students are to fill out the family tree sheet and be prepared to present it to the class on Friday. Students are also asked to come up with another symbol to represent their family tree. They are to draw this symbol on the blank sheet going home and fit all their family members on it (only immediate family: brother, sister, mother, father); students will explain why they chose their symbol to the class during their short presentation. An example: My family likes to go camping a lot and we use the canoe to go fishing so I decided to use a canoe as a symbol for my family and put all my family members on each paddle.

Country Celebration Presentation:

Students will choose a country (this can be from their own culture) and research a celebration within this country. They are to include:

1. The dates of the celebration
2. Important people who are responsible for the celebration/important people that are a part of this celebration
3. A symbol associated with this celebration (Ex: Christmas – a Christmas tree)
4. 2 facts about this celebration
5. A gift giving tradition within this country
6. 2-3 other traditions in this country

Students are to do the research at home and they will do the writing portion at school Monday, March 2, 2015. They will present on Wednesday, March 4, 2015.

We have a new student in our class!!! Her name is Seohyeon. She comes to us all the way from Korea!!! We are so excited to have her join our class!!

We began the day completing our spelling work for unit 20.

We then had physical education with Ms. Lovan.

For Math, students were each given 3-D shape cut-outs and solids in order to determine how many vertices, faces, and edges each one has. After, students cut out their nets from Thursday (for a cone, cube, cylinder, square pyramid, triangular prism, triangular based pyramid).
Wahkeen reviewed how to count quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. He then moved on to counting quarters (1= 25 cents, 2= 50 cents, 3 = 75 cents, and 4= 100 cents).












During UOI, we learned about family tress. First Ms. Jaskolka showed us her family tree. We then discussed what a family tree is and what it’s purpose is:
a drawing or chart that shows how the different members of a family are related to each other. Who goes on it? Some family trees just extend to your family and grandparents, others go further into the family (cousins, aunts etc.) We then we watched a short video that explained more about what a family tree is:
After first recess and lunch we had French. After we wrote our homework in our agenda’s and kept working on our nets from this morning.

After second recess and lunch, we continued writing about our critters from last week. We need to write an explanation about our critter and during art we continued drawing out and colouring our critter.
