Tremendous Thursday!!

***Please note the change for the Japan poster pictures:
Japan Poster

Students will bring in two pictures representing Japan in the following areas (For each area, students are to bring in at least two pictures, so at least 12 pictures all together):
o   Food, shelter, transportation, recreation, clothing, and other important information.


We will use these pictures tomorrow to create a travel poster on construction paper.


We began the day having French with Mdm. Stella.

We then began exploring India. We were put into partners again and we read over information about food, shelter, leisure, clothing, transportation and other facts about India. We used a graphic organizer to plot all our information.

After, we had Art with Ms. Kerr.

When students returned, we looked into Japan and India in more depth. We first plotted them on our world maps and talked about how their geographic location would affect many factors. We then discussed our information from our graphic organizers and looked at pictures pertaining to food, shelter, transportation, clothing, and leisure in both countries. It helped the students not only to read about the information but also to see pictures so they could visually understand the information.

After, we learned about estimating in math. We looked at a big picture of a squirrel collecting nuts for the winter. We first estimated how many we thought there were and then we counted by 5’s to see if we were correct. Next, we were given either counters or counting cubes and estimated how many there were and then counted the items by grouping them. We were counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s today.

Following second recess and lunch, we continued to practice proper sentence writing. We learned about telling and asking sentences. After we learned how we could bring two short sentences together using the word and.

After we wrote our homework in our agendas and packed up.

1.    Read for 20 minutes

3.   Pictures for Japan due tomorrow
4.   Sign postcard rubric
5.   Math pgs. 31 and 32
