Thursday September 21, 2017

Terrific Thursday!!!

We began the day having fun with words!!! We reminded ourselves that every sentence needs a noun and a verb and that we use adjectives to add detail to our sentences. We were then given a word challenge in groups!!!! We were given broken up sentences that we needed to put together using our knowledge of nouns, verbs and adjectives.















Next we had French and then Gym.

After first recess and lunch we had Music.

We then explored rounding numbers to the nearest ten and hundred in math. This can be a difficult concept so we will continue working with rounding numbers tomorrow. We first played a game where Ms. Jaskolka called out numbers and we needed to reach up to the sky if the number was 5 or more and reach to the ground when the number was 4 or less. We used this visual to help us:



If the number has not made it over the hill then we would let it rest but if the number has made it over the hill then we add one more.

We then showed our understanding using the math text.

After second recess and lunch we talked about why laws and rules are so important in a community. We read a book, What if everyone did that? to gain better understanding of what would happen if we did not have rules and laws; we would be living in a world of chaos!!! Ms. Jaskolka asked us to think about a law that we should have in our own class. Tomorrow each student will write down his or her law and then as a class we will vote for the law we think is best and implement it within our classroom routine.

Have a great night!
