Aftercare in June

Tuesday May 30th 2017

I Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Language: We continued to work on persuasive speeches. We went over what should be included in a persuasive speech. Next they edited their speech on uniforms. Next they started writing the persuasive speech on "whether or not they should have homework" that they worked on over the weekend. I wrote out examples of strong phrases that they should use in their speech. We will continue to work on it this week before we complete the OWA.

French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

UOI: Today we continued to work on our summatives. The planning needs to be done on Friday.
Math: Today we talked about fair vs unfair. We talked about how fair means everyone has an equal chance of winning. Next I gave them an example of spinners and we talked about whether they were fair or unfair. A fair spinner would have the same number of each colour. An unfair would have an unequal number of each colour. Next they coloured two spinners, one that was equal and one that was unequal. We also wrote the probability of landing on each colour for each spinner.

Arts Night Costumes

As arts night is fast approaching I wanted to let all of the parents know what their children should wear for the performance.

The boys should wear a plain white t-shirt (Nothing on it please),blue jeans and their hair slicked back. They also need black sunglasses. They can wear their running shoes. 

The girls will be wearing some type of flower or 60's print dress (not too long, tight or poofy as they will trip) with tall boots (fashion boots not outdoor boots). Their hair should be down. If you have any 60's hair pieces such as a ribbon that would be fantastic.

If you do not have fashion boots let me know.





Arts night


Action

Manny was an action star as he completed an experiment on dying flowers! He made a video take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0hUQ-Ugw7w&feature=youtu.be

Great work Manny!

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Spelling: Spelling is due Thursday and the test is on Friday.
Arts night: We are continuing to practice for arts night. It is really coming along well!
French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

UOI: We have started working on the planning section of our summative. Please make sure that research has been brought in this week as the kids are marked on it. Planning needs to be done by Friday.
Novel Study: We read 10 more pages in the secret garden. They are loving it and don't like when they have to stop reading! They are to finish one page of their novel study duotang tonight.
Presentations: We did two more presentations from our story unit. We finally only have two left! WOO!

Lunch/Recess

Math: Previously we talked about probability in terms of words. Today we talked about probability and the chances of something happening using numbers. This is very similar to fractions. The probability of landing on the colours are following:

red: Unlikely, 1 in 8 or 1/8
Yellow: Equally likely to land on yellow and blue, 2 in 8 or 2/8
blue: Equally likely to land on yellow and blue, 2 in 8 or 2/8
Green: Likely, 3 in 8 or 3/8
Orange: Impossible


Gym: Please see Mr. Macdonald's blog for more information.

Have a good night!

Miss. Ross

Friday May 26th 2017

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Spelling: Tests have been handed back and should be returned on Monday
Music: Please see Mr. Oliver's blog for more information.
French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

Math: We played math games on the tablet. The website we use is called mathplayground.com. The kids really like it!
UOI: We continued to present our stories from last unit. We are almost done!
Binder clean out: We handed out papers and cleaned out our apples binders. Papers have been sent home in their backpacks.

Lunch/Recess

UOI: They started researching on the tablets about their inquiry topic for their Plants and Soil summative. They were so interested in researching it was great! Everyone made notes for themselves and some websites they used so they can go back and look it up at home. They are becoming great researchers! It is great practice for how to research and what to put in the search bar. Next year they will do research in class independently and they need to know how to do this so they are well on their way! Great work!









Have a great weekend!

Miss. Ross

Thursday May 15th 2017

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Language: We continued to work on our persuasive speech on whether or not we should wear uniforms or not. Those who did not finish will be completing it for homework. When they were finished they read through each others in order to find spots where they could add more parts in and get new ideas.
French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.

Lunch/Recess

Math: Today we talked about probability experiments. I put an equal number of coloured blocks in  a basket and together we pulled them out to see without looking to see how many of each colour we can get. Probability says that if we pull 40 times and we have four colours, we can use division to tell us that it is LIKELY that each colour will be pulled ABOUT ten times. We put this in a tally chart. Next we practiced several probability scenarios using division.
Workshop: The rest of the day was spent at the mad scientist workshop. They had a great time take a look!
