Star of the Week

Last week our star of the week was Munira! Great work!!

Friday February 24th 2017

Hello,

Here is what we did on Friday.

We recited our poems this morning and sat quietly while we listened to everyone else's!

Here is Manny's presentation of his poem on stage:https://youtu.be/6BVHsiLZXuQ
Here is Vanshi's presentation of her poem on stage: https://youtu.be/Kkq0YDhvges

Vanshi and Manny came first and second! Great work !! They will be going on to read their poems on Wednesday March 1st when the Maples joins us.

Lunch/Recess

We listened to the Grade 4-8's read their speeches. This gave us a good idea of what we will be doing next year!

Lunch/Recess

Since the speeches took a long time and went in recess, the kids had extra recess time.
We finished off the day with outdoor gym!

Wednesday February 22nd 2017

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Language: Today in language we started talking about a debate! We will be doing a debate in UOI so we took this time to help understand what a debate is, the difference between fact and opinion as well as learning to form an opinion.
Math: We started talking about improper fractions and mixed fractions. As we do not know how to multiply, we used counting up in order to complete this.

Improper fraction to mixed number:

1. How many times will the denominator go into the numerator?
2. How many are left?
3. Denominator stayed the same.

Mixed number to Improper Fraction:

1. Count up using the denominator and the Whole number
2. Add the numerator.
3. The denominator stays the same.

If you have any questions please let me know. Here are some sheets as reference:


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

Lunch/Recess

Math: We continued to do work on the board, on our whiteboards and from the textbook. As this was a confusing concept to understand we did this for a while today! I think they all understand it quite well.

Lunch/Recess

UOI: We started working on our debates! They have been separated into two groups, country and city. They started working on their main ideas for their debates today. They will be finishing the sheet tomorrow and starting the debate. Some people needed to be reminded of how to be a good communicator, to be open minded to new ideas and be respectful to other people. They are doing well!
We finished the day off with gym.

Have a good night!

Miss. Ross
