Here is what we did today.
Math: We started off with a math pre-test. They all tried very hard and I am very proud! After they finished they practiced their mental math addition, subtraction, multiplication and division! I was impressed how excellent they were and were having lots of fun. Flashcards are a great way for a child to practice their mental math alone as it allows them to check their answers. You can find some at the dollar store sometimes! Keep up the good work everyone!
Language: Today we practiced again writing a persuasive speech and they are really starting to understand how to write a persuasive speech. Today they were given a persuasive speech outline and they had to add in the transition words to their speech. If they did not finish it in class it is homework.
Lunch/Recess
UOI: Today we talked about the influence of the media.We took a look at a video that spoke about what it meant to say phrases such as "You throw like a girl" and how phrases like that influence girls and what they think about themselves. We also spoke about what it means when people and the media say phrases such as "act like a man". They told me that all people are different and it is not nice for the media to say things like that. The important take home message from today was to be critical of the media and not believe everything that they say.
Terry Fox Run: Here is a video of the song they learned today in French about Terry Fox! There is also a video of them running!
UOI: When we came back they made positivity posters that are going to be out in the hallway. We made a list of things we could write together and they did amazing! These are suppose to make people feel better instead of seeing negative media messages. Great work everyone!

French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.
Have a good night!
