Terrific Tuesday!

****Parents we need white board markers for our class. If you could kindly bring some in, that would be a wonderful help!

****Tomorrow is Casual Day

We began the day writing a letter to Flat Stanley telling him how he should save Oda Nobu from the ninjas. We made sure to include all the important parts of a letter. Dolapo lets us know what those important parts are in the video below. We then read chapter 8. Arthur was holding Flat Stanley folded up like an origami ninja star and threw Stanley at Oda Nobu. We learned that the ninjas that took Odu Nobu were actually four young girls who were fans of Oda Nobu! They got in big trouble from Oda Nobu and their parents.

Next students had physical education with Ms. Lovan.

When students returned, we did our math test. 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.

Here is the link:

 What is in your shopping bag?

Teni explains this in the video below. 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:

Burp Cola Advertisement

After first recess and lunch, students had French.

When students returned they wrote their homework in their agendas and then we continued reading our book from yesterday, reviewing the three ways to read a book.

After second recess and lunch, we did a pumpkin writing activity using adjectives to describe a pumpkin that we would make in visuals arts. Students worked on their rough copies today. The first sentence introduced the pumpkin by giving him/her a name. The second sentence described the colour and size or shape of the pumpkin. The third sentence was all about the number of teeth the pumpkin has. The forth sentence described the pumpkin using one word only. The last sentence told how the pumpkin makes us feel. Doing this activity will help us use more adjectives and describing words when we are writing.
Wahkeen is working on his verbs. He  wrote sentences about a spider using verbs to describe the action that it is doing. He painted the body of his spider today. 

Afterwards, students started making the pumpkin that they described earlier. We will continue making them Thursday.

Let us tell you about our day:
