Here is what we did today.
Math: Today we continued to practice making change. We did some examples together. I noticed that they were having trouble with the cents. As a result, we worked on that. I told them that the cents from the item and the cents to the next dollar need to equal hundred. We talked about whole dollar is like a whole pizza and if there are parts added to it then its not whole anymore. This is like a whole dollar. We also started using a money hundreds chart to help them figure out the cents. They are to count down in tens and then count to the next dollar. We did many examples and then they worked on their own.
Music: Please see Mr. Oliver's blog for more information.
Spelling test: They will be handed back on Monday.
Language: We worked on memorizing our speeches and practicing with actions and expression.
Lunch/Recess
Gym: Please see Mr. B's blog for more information.
UOI: Today we travelled the world! First we looked at a pictographic map of peel to understand, Mississauga as a city, Brampton as both an suburban and rural community and Caledon as a rural community. We looked at google earth to see different areas and get examples of urban, rural and suburban communities. First we looked at the GTA and saw the differences. We noticed that suburban communities have a lot of houses close together with some green space. Urban communities have a lot of buildings close together and no green space. Rural communities have lots of land and space. We also talked about how not all urban, rural and suburban communities look the same. We travelled to Italy to see where Ms. Chiappetta was from, England to see where John was from, Russia to see where Michael is from, Poland to see where Alyssa is from and Greece to see where Andreas is fun. We also looked at Scotland to see the country we studied for international day! They had so much fun! They even stayed in for recess to keep going! I encourage you to look at google earth on the weekend! We finished off the period doing a worksheet explaining their understanding of urban, rural and suburban communities. Those people that didn't finish have it for homework.
