Wonderful Wednesday!

We began the day having French with Mdm. Stella.

When students returned we watched the story of the three little pigs from the pigs point of view.

After, we read The true story of the 3 little pigs which was from the wolf’s point of view. 

We learned that because the pigs and wolf have two different sides to the story, they have two different points of view. We unpacked these two different points of view by discussing the differences between the books:

We also discussed why there were differences between the two books. We came to the conclusion that both the pigs and the wolf want the audience to believe them so they will try and make each other look bad; the pigs want to look innocent and so does the wolf.  

We then learned that when we are looking at different kinds of media, it is important to know from who's point of view we are getting the information from. It is important when looking at different kinds of media, to question what we are reading/hearing/seeing. When looking at different kinds of media, we may not always be getting the whole truth and all the information we need, so it is important to ask questions and learn more about the information that we are given.

Afterwards, we started writing our good copies for the advertisements that we have created about a new toy we invented.

After first recess and lunch, we had physical education with Ms. Lovan.

 We then looked at a clock that had a second, minute, and hour hand. We discussed that the three hands show seconds, minutes, and hours. We learned how each hand affects each other. One full turn of the minute hand moves the hour hand to the next number. We discussed how there are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute. We counted as a class around the clock to make sure. We also learned how the hour hand travels twice around the clock. We know there are 24 hours in a day and there are only 12 numbers on the clock. We know 12 + 12 is 24 so then the hour hand needs to go around the clock twice. We then did two activities and we counted the number of times we could do each one in one minute; we wrote our whole name and drew a house. We also predicted what would take us less then a minute, about a minute, and more than a minute. We will test these predictions tomorrow.

Afterwards, we continued working on our good copies of our advertisements. Tomorrow we will begin practicing presenting our advertisements to the class.

After second recess and lunch, we wrote our homework in our agendas and then continued working chapter 7 of Chocolate Fever.

We then did a word sort activity related to the novel. We needed to chart nouns, verbs, and adjectives all found in Chocolate Fever.

Read for 20 minutes
