Tremendous Tuesday!

We began the day having French with Mdm. Stella.

Afterwards, we explored how important it is to know media literacy. We played a game where we did an advertisement investigation to make sure we know what kind of product we are buying. For example, the package may say that the product is made with real fruit but may not contain any fruit at all; we should look at the ingredients to make sure.
Here is the link:
We also made an advertisement for burp cola to be more aware of the different gimmicks that are used in them. We first chose a catchy slogan. We chose an image that would grab people’s attention. We chose where we would see this advertisement as well as one sentence that would get people to buy our product. Here is the link if the students want to play this game at home:


Students then had Art with Ms. Kerr.

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

Then we dove into math. We first practiced telling time together to the quarter hour (3:30, 4:15, 12:00, 9:45).  After we divided our clock in quarters and labeled 12 with o’clock, 3 with quarter after, 6 with half past, and 9 with quarter to. Students did so in order to help them figure out how to determine what time it is when the minute hand moves around the clock every fifteen minutes.

Students then showed their understanding in their MMS books.

After second recess and lunch, students continued working on their graphic organizers about a donut; students are creating their own advertisements about a new donut they have come up with.

When students were finished, they began working on a fact and opinion activity related to Chocolate Fever. Students were given facts and opinions about the book and they needed to chart their answers.

Homework:
1.    Read for 20 minutes
2.   Product chosen by November 9
3.   Math pg. 61-62

4.   Practice Guy Fawkes poem
