Wonderful Wednesday!


We have no school on Friday so our spelling test is tomorrow

Our star of the week is Nicole!



Our buddy for the week is Amber. Thank you for being a good friend!
We began the day having French with Mlle. Jessica.

When students returned, we continued working on addition and subtraction word problems. We will continue to practice solving addition and subtraction word problems and when to use each one tomorrow.

Next, we had physical education with Mr. H.

When students returned, they worked on their summative project.

Following first recess and lunch, students had Music.

Students then continued working on their summative projects.













Following second recess and lunch, we learned about adding detail to our sentences. We first went over what we need to ensure to have in a sentence: Capital, end mark (period), noun and a verb. We also knew that in order to make great sentences we include adjectives (descriptive words). We then went into more depth about how we can add more detail by asking:
Who?
What?
Where?
When?
Why?
How?
We did two examples as a class and next week students will be practicing adding detail to their sentences.
At the end of the day, we read chapter 5 and 6 of Charlotte’s Web. Wilbur has finally met his new friend Charlotte and has found out so much about her.  She explains to him the life of a spider and how they go about survival. She showed Wilbur how she catches and wraps a bug up so she is able to drink its blood. Wilbur does not like the fact that she traps and drinks the blood of bugs but she asked him, how else was she to eat? Wilbur has started to become a bit hesitant about their friendship but we learned from the author that Wilbur will find out that Charlotte is a nice spider who will be kind and loyal to him. We then made predictions about what we think will happen in chapter 7 which is titled Bad News. Oh no!

Homework:
1.    Read for 20 minutes

2.     Spelling test tomorrow
