Terrific Thursday!
We began the day having art with Mr. Monaghan.
We then began our new math unit: Mass and Capacity. We discussed what we remember about
measurement and the attributes that can be measured (length, width,
temperature, how much something holds, how heavy something is). We will be
comparing and ordering masses and how much containers will hold during this
unit. We learned that the Mass of an
object is how heavy or light something is and capacity is the amount a container will hold. We then looked at the
Big Math book page 56. We answered what is going on in the picture and what
things we can measure? (milk, flour etc). We discussed how people are
measuring? (scales, containers), How can we find out which container holds
more? (filling containers to see how much each holds, compare the size of the
containers), How are people comparing items? (mass, how much fits in a
container, by price)
Students then
wrote and drew items/object that they can measure using mass of at home and
school. We repeated this for capacity.
Students were then
shown four containers of various sizes and students predicted which they think
will hold the most amount of water. We will perform this experiment tomorrow.
During UOI, we
made posters about 3 or more ways that we can conserve water. We made sure to
use lots of pictures and fewer words.
After first recess
and lunch we had French. Students then wrote their homework in their agendas
and then completed any unfinished work.
After second
recess and lunch, students completed their advertisements for their donuts,
ensuring they are persuading their audience to buy their product.
We had such a good
day, so we went outside at the end of the day for physical education and to
enjoy the beautiful weather!!
Homework:
1. Read for 20 minutes
2. Reading Comprehension
