Tremendous Thursday!!

We began the day reading chapter 4 of our novel study. We finally found out why Harry is upset and in a daze!!!! We learned that Harry’s great grandfather is living in a nursing home and this makes him really sad because he used to live with Harry and his family. Harry loved to listen to his stories and play games with him. Ms. Mackle came up with the idea of visiting the nursing home, Shady Pines, to visit Harry’s great grandfather. The student’s in room 3B are very excited for this trip!!!!

We then spoke about our own family about our grandparents/great grandparents who are in our lives and some who may not be with us, could be living in a nursing home or are sick. We spoke about how this makes us feel and how we show that we love them and appreciate them very much. Some responses: I pray for them, I hug them, I tell them I love them. We learned that our hugs and words can be very magical and that we can make our loved ones feel so much better with our words, hug and kisses!!

We then had French and then Gym.

After first recess and lunch we had Music.

When we returned we began learning about fractions!!!
We discussed when you share something, how did you make sure it was fair? We can use fractions!!! We looked at some examples on the board to decide if they were broken up fairly and
if they were, into how many parts.
Today we focused on using pictures to understand how we can break up fractions evenly. 

Then we had fun with fractions in groups! We were given figures on chart paper and we used pattern blocks to cover them up, ensuring to use the same shapes so that we were breaking up the figures evenly.



































After second recess and lunch we began our new UOI about Simple Machines!!! First we completed KWL chart to discuss what we already know about simple machines and what we want to know. We then watched a video about simple machines, stopping at each one to gain a better understanding of their function and form. During our unit, we will spend more time with each simple machine to understand how each one makes our work easier.

At the end of the day, Ali presented his newly invented holiday!!!
