Hello,
Math: Today we learned how to make a pictograph! We looked at a table and learned what 4 important things to include on our pictograph: The title, axis label, the key and the symbol. We spoke about making sure we chose a number for our key that would allow us to use the least amount of symbols and makes the most sense with all of our numbers on the table. The students worked on some textbook questions.

Christmas: Today we made an ornament with words of kindness to hang outside of our classroom. They had many nice things to say about each other!

Hello,
Here is what we did today.
Math: Today we talked about circle graphs! We started by talking about fractions. We learned that the bottom of the fraction is the total and the top is the number of parts we are talking about. We also learned that the bigger the number gets, the smaller the piece of the circle graph (Just like sharing a pie with friends. The more friends you have to share with the smaller the piece of pie you get!) Next we did some questions together from the textbook and they did some questions independently.
Music: They spent music in the auditorium watching Christmas concert as Mr. Oliver is running it.
Christmas concert practice

Gym: They spent gym in the auditorium watching Christmas concert as Mr. B is helping to run it.
Language: Today we finished worked on our fractured fairy tale planning sheet!

Hello,
Here is what we did today.
Math: Today we learned how to read bar graph and pictographs. We learned about what are the axes, they are used to tell you what data is being displayed. We learned that pictographs use symbols to show data. A key shows what each symbol represents. The numbers on the axis show the scale. The range is the difference between the greatest value and the least value on the graph.
Language: We did our daily language review. Then we discussed the features of a Fairy Tale. We brainstormed different fairy tales and in groups they complete a recipe for 2 fairy tales. They had to describe how the fairy tale of their choice met all the criteria/features of a Fairy Tale.
Lunch/Recess
Gym: Please see Mr. B's blog for more information.
UOI: In groups, we discussed what a fractured fairy tale could be. We learned that in fractured fairy tales either the characters, the ending or the point of view is changed. We read two fractured fairy tale stories which demonstrated each change in a classic fairy tale. The students began to work on their own fractured fairy tale! They are so excited. They are going to be changing one part of the story. We will continue to work on this for the next few days.
Lunch/Recess
Christmas Concert: We watched the Oakwood Christmas concert! They did so well!

Hello,
Here is what we did today.
Math: Today we began to read tables and graphs. We learned what a variable is and how to properly read columns and rows. We learned that a table helps us to organize information and the more variables you have the more ways to categorize information. We did some worksheets together and then did some independently.
Music: Please see Mr. Oliver's blog for more information.
Language: We did our daily language review. Today we used our describing skills to talk about Christmas morning or another holiday they celebrate. They practiced describing things using our 5 senses. The paragraphs really turned out great.
Lunch/Recess
Christmas concert: We practiced our song for the concert.
UOI: Today we practiced writing sentences that described a feeling so that an individual could make an inference based on what you are saying. We made a Show and Don't Tell Chart! This activity really got them to think more outside the box.

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

Hello,
Here is what we did today.
Math: Today we did our math test. I am going to do my best to mark them this week.
Language: We did our daily language review. Today we worked on our banner for the Christmas concert!
Lunch/Recess
Gym: Please see Mr. B's blog for more information
UOI: Today we went outside and used our senses to describe the scenery around us. This helped us brainstorm ideas and descriptive words that we could use in our writing. When we went back to class, as a class we created a descriptive paragraph about the scene that we experienced when we were outside. The students closed their eyes as I read it to them so they could picture it in their heads. They did so well! Our descriptive writing is really coming along. We talked about how we dont need to say " I can feel..." or "I can see..." etc. We just state what we can feel instead. For example: Instead of saying "I can feel the snow on my tongue" we can see "Snow falling all around me and landing on my tongue". It is more descriptive!
