Wonderful Wednesday!

We began the day practicing for Art’s night with Ms. DaCosta’s class.

After, we had physical education with Ms. Lovan.

When student’s returned, we began our new unit in Math: Multiplication, Division, and Fractions. We began with multiplication. We first discussed all the ways that we know how to skip count (2, 3, 5, 10, 25). We then worked through various questions together. Ms. Jaskolka drew groups of circles on the board and we needed to figure out the addition and multiplication sentence (ex: 6 groups of 2 circle; 2+2+2+2+2+2=12; 2x6=12). We then filled in patterns of 2, 5, and our own a hundred’s chart. After, we looked at various pictures and we needed to figure out the addition and multiplication sentence. We then used cubes to do the same.













When we were finished, we read A Bad case of stripes about Camilla Cream. Camilla was a little girl who one day got rainbow stripes all over her skin! As the days passed, her skin had many different designs on it and eventually she became her room! A nice elderly lady came by and gave Camilla some lima beans (her favourite food that she chose not to eat because she thought others would make fun of her for it) and she became better! We learned that it is ok to be different and to have our own opinions. We should not worry about being made fun of for our unique interests. We should always be true to ourselves and know that our differences are what make us special!

After first recess and lunch, we wrote our homework in our agendas and then went to watch the Grade 10 personal projects.

After second recess and lunch, we worked on a Venn diagram where we wrote out the similarities and differences between Henry (from Chocolate Fever) and Camilla (from A Bad Case of Stripes). We then discussed them as a class.

At the end of the day, we practiced for Art’s night.

1.     Read for 20 minutes
2.     Summative project due May 28
3.     Ice cream forms due tomorrow
4.     Ice cream day next Tuesday
