Wonderful Wednesday!
The summative project, along with two rubrics (one for the
written and one for the oral presentation) went home today. Please sign both rubrics
and return the whole package to school tomorrow (including the student’s
written work)
We began the day having French with
Mdm. Stella.
During UOI, we reviewed what we
spoke about yesterday:
We also learned that we come across
media everyday and that media tries to express a message to us. So when
we are looking at various forms of media, it is important we try and understand
the message that is being expressed to us. If we do not understand, we can ask
questions.
We looked at an advertisement for Coca
Cola; we were reading and viewing media.
We looked for the message (to buy coke) and we explained how we knew this is
was the message (the catchy phrase: have a coke; the woman is happy drinking a
coke; the logo for coca cola). We also discussed the techniques that were being
used: graphics (picture) and colour (bright).
We can see/view media
messages. We watched a Shopkin commercial and discussed why it made most of us
want to go out and buy more; we went over the techniques posted above.
We can also hear media. We
listened to an African Lion Safari commercial that we would hear on the radio
and have come to understand that sound is an important technique when we cannot
see media (we heard a jingle and animal noises).
Afterwards, we worked on a signs
and symbol sheet where we discovered the messages being expressed by each one.
We also listed the different types of media we know and where we would hear and
view them.
When we were finished, we continued
working on our learner profile and attitude sheet from yesterday.
After second recess and lunch,
students had physical education with Ms. Lovan.
In math, we were estimating with
large numbers. We looked at a picture of people using paddles and we estimated
how much we thought there was.
As we counted by 2’s, we decided if
we wanted to change our estimate. Students then created addition and
subtraction stories and sentences for another picture that had 20 people
paddling and 2 playing music on a boat.
Addition story: There are 20 people
paddling on a boat. 2 more are playing music on a boat. There are 22
people all together on the boat.
Addition sentence: 20+2=22
Subtraction story: There are 22
people paddling on a boat. 2 decide to dance and play music. Now there are 20
people left paddling the boat.
After second recess and lunch, we did
a retell of chapter 4 and read chapter 5 of Chocolate Fever. Henry needed to go
to the hospital, and Dr. Fargo discovered that Henry’s spots are actually chocolate
spots!
Afterwards, 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 or two words. 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.
Homework:
1. Read for 20 minutes
2. Math Review (please do not complete all, we will work on the
rest of the review in class tomorrow)
3. Math test Friday
4. Lunch forms due Oct. 23
