Tremendous Tuesday!
We began the day having art with Mr. Monaghan and physical
education with Ms. Lovan.
Afterwards, students created their product for their
television commercial.
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
talked about some things that we would measure in hours, like the day. We also
discussed some things that we can measure in minutes: eat, using the washroom,
brushing our teeth, playing tag, taking the school bus. We then did three
activities and we counted the number of times we could do each one in one
minute; we wrote our whole name, drew a house, and made a 5-train with snap cubes.
After first recess and lunch, we wrote our homework in our
agendas and then practiced the Guy Fawkes Day Poem. After we coloured poppies
for our Remembrance Day Assembly on Friday.
After second recess and lunch, we wrote the rough copies to
our letter to ourselves. We made sure to include a heading, greeting, opening
sentence, topic sentence, body, concluding sentence and a closing.
Homework:
1.
Read for 20 minutes
