Here is what we did today.
Presentation: We started the day off with a presentation with War Amps learning about amputation as one of our children is a child amputee. The kids found it very interesting!
UOI: Today we first reviewed the different advertising techniques we spoke about on Friday. Next I showed them some videos using some of the ad techniques and talked about how they fit with the different techniques. Next we talked about different colours and what they represent. Finally we used our company "Field Fun" that we created before to create an advertisement! This is practice for tomorrow when they have to do it themselves. The success criteria is:
- 2-3 ad techniques (no more than 4)
- Purpose of the ad is stated
- Company name
- Logo
- Slogan
Lunch/Recess
Gym: Please see Mr. Beresford's blog for more information.
Math: Today we continued to talk about equations involving addition. We talked about what an equation is and they told me that an equation is where both sides of the problem are equal and include a equal sign. Next we did some examples together involving two math problems on either side. It is important that children are showing their work underneath the question. For example: 5+2 =3 +____
The first step is to figure out what 5+2 and write it underneath the question. Now we can figure out "3 + what equals 7". If they do not know what the answer is through mental math, they can count up. Also, if the numbers are too big to do it using column addition on the side of the page.

Spelling: Spelling is due Thursday and the test is on Friday.
Language: Today we started talking about persuasive speeches. The acronyms to remember the structure for a persuasive speech is OREO. Opinion, reason, evidence and opinion. The reason and evidence are repeated three times for three reasons (opinion 1. reason, evidence 2. reason, evidence 3. reason, evidence and restate the opinion). Next we went through a persuasive speech and found the different parts of the OREO structure together.
