St. Jude's FC
A new and exciting soccer program has officially arrived at SJA. St. Jude’s FC is the official soccer academy affiliated with SJA, which is currently taking applicants for its inaugural season. I have attached a form if you would like to hand it in before spots fill up. I will be sending the physical form home on Monday. Let’s go St. Jude’s FC!

Hello,
Here is what we did today.
Awards: Our open-minded winner was Vidhi! Tara also won the award from Mr. B! Great job girls!
Math: Today we talked about equivalent fractions again in order to gain a better understanding. We first watched a khan academy video:
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/fraction-arithmetic/arith-review-visualizing-equiv-frac/v/equivalent-amount-of-pizza
This helped us to understand what equivalent means and how we use multiplication to understand. The golden rule : Whatever we do to the bottom we do to the top. This helps us to ensure the fractions are equivalent. Next we used a powerpoint to do some examples in which they had to figure out what was multiplied to get the next equivalent denominator from an original fraction. Then used this same number to multiply the top. They did VERY well with this concept! Next they did a worksheet together. Everyone did very well!
Music: Please see Mr. Oliver's blog for more information.
Spelling test: They will be handed back on Monday.
Language: We finished reading chapter 16 and 17! They are loving this book. They worked on the sheets to match the chapters. For homework this weekend they are to finish chapter 18 and the worksheet. Most people finished this work in class.
Lunch/Recess
Math: Today we learned about comparing and ordering fractions. We look at a powerpoint that explained the concept very easily to us. The golden rule is if there is an improper fraction they ALWAYS CONVERT FIRST! The denominator will always stay the same with the questions they are working on. As a result they need to look at the top of the fraction and put them in the order it asking for, greatest to least or least to greatest. Once the fraction is converted they can put them in the proper order. We worked together as a class to put the fractions in order from least to greatest and verse versa. The students also worked with a partner to put 2 separate sets in order on whiteboards. We practiced converting improper fractions to mixed fractions so we could accurately place the fractions in order. We worked on textbook questions independently and all gave the thumbs up to understanding this concept!
UOI: We worked on our summative. The children will be working on their model/drawing next week so they need to start bringing in their materials.
Lunch/Recess
French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.
Took up math homework.
Have a good weekend!

Hello,
Here is what we did today.
Math: We did some big concepts today and I wanted to make sure that we understand them so we did a lot of work together to understand them. We talked about mixed fractions and improper fractions. First we did some work on the carpet with the pizzas and counted the pieces. Next we did A LOT work together on together on the board and on our whiteboards with our partners. We did some worksheets together afterwards.
I have written out step by step instructions in order to make sure they understand. Everyone had a good understanding and just needs more practice.
Here are the steps:
Lunch/Recess
Language: We read chapter 14 and 15 today! They are loving this book so much they don't want to stop reading! We did some worksheets as well and if they aren't finished they need to finish it for homework.
Music: We did our sound scape today! It was so much fun. We noticed all the differences between country sounds and city sounds. City sounds were loud, stressful and involved more items with technology like cars. The country sounds were more peaceful and involved nature. It was good practice for their sound scape in their project.
Here the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zZuAK5K2Qc&feature=youtu.be
UOI: We started working on our summative today! We are having fun creating our own town/city but have to remember that it needs to be realistic according to what we learned.
*Math worksheet
*Novel study if not finished

I have written out step by step instructions in order to make sure they understand. Everyone had a good understanding and just needs more practice.
Here are the steps:
Math words:
Sum= Answer to an addition
question
Product= Answer to a
multiplication question
Numerator= Top of the fraction
Denominator= Bottom
of the fraction
Improper
Fraction to a mixed fraction
1.
See how many times the
denominator goes into the numerator. This is the whole number. Do this by
counting up. (E.g. 4,8, 12 etc without going over)
2.
Write down the whole number
3.
Numerator – product = the left overs
4.
Left over is numerator. The denominator is the same as the question. Whole number goes in front.
Mixed
to Improper
1.
Multiply denominator by the whole number
2.
Add the numerator to the product
3.
Put the sum over the denominator
Mixed to improper
Improper to Mixed
