Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Math: Today we reviewed fractions of a set and how to draw a picture to represent that fraction. We took up yesterday’s homework and did a few examples on the board. The students were separated into 4 groups and each group had a different activity. There was fraction bingo, fractions of a set flash cards, fractions of a set whiteboard practice and which fraction is larger card game. They had so much fun rotating between the activities.

Spelling: Tests were handed back

Language: We continued our novel study, “Heidi.” We read chapters 5 and 6 together. We made a lot of inferences about what could happen next in the book or how the character is feeling.

Lunch/Recess
Art: We continued our skyline art.

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

UOI: For today’s activity we discussed the different parts of a debate and why it was important to have a strong argument verses a weak argument. We watched a debate and discussed which  individual’s argument was based on facts and who’s was based on opinion. The students’ were divided into 2 groups and were told that they would have to debate which is a better place to live, the city or the country? We will continue this activity on Monday. It was very interesting to watch the kids work in groups as some worked better than others. They were encouraged to be open-minded and good communicators.
