Terrific Tuesday

We started our day off with agendas today's notes read:

-Bake sale (I will be e-mailing you all about this) Our class along with a few others are responsible for the bake sale next week. If you are able to and would like to bring in some good please feel free to; more details on the way:) )
-Read for 20 mins
-Math page 13-15 Q1-6 (We completes our number lines in class) I have sent home a worksheet
-Spelling pg 10-13 (if not completed)
-Cursive pg. 10-11 (if not completed)
-Toonie for Terry
-Food Drive donation

After we watched a short video on Terry Fox; they had a lot of questions about amputees, what is cancer, why did Terry lose his leg, and were very interested. They were very impacted by his story, as they went to run in PE with Mrs. Jans I observed them running and saying WE RUN FOR TERRY!

After PE we went outside to start Math. We created a number line with our bodies and each student represented a number. We tossed a ball counting by 2's starting from 1's, and then from 2's. The first time through for each team their times were over 45 seconds, but then the second time they improved to under 30 seconds.

When we came back in we displayed a number line on chart paper, we filled it in together and started skip counting on it. We skip counted by 2's, 5's and 10's...but we had a problem! What do we do if the number cuts off! We have to continue down to the next line


We practiced and modeled as a class skip counting forwards and backwards on the number line. After they moved into their independent questions and completed question 1 a and b in the textbook and then I gave them the rest of the questions on the board which were counting by 2, 5, and 10's forward and backwards with the number line for numbers 1-50. The homework sheet is in their agenda.

After math we had first lunch and recess, we were greeted by students from Oakwood for the Bake Sale!

After lunch and recess we had a discussion about international day. The country that we will be researching and presenting on is...Trinidad and Tobago...I asked the students to find out a fact tonight about it. If you are able to help out on this day please let me know, in any way possible.

After we did literacy. We reviews nouns, verbs, and started to look at adjectives today. We learned that they are describing words for nouns. We came up with a few sentences together and then the students worked independently on their own sentences.

In order to be successful we co constructed our success criteria which was:

  • Adjective 
  • Noun
  • Capitals
  • Periods
After literacy we had second lunch and recess. 

After recess we had a few math problems to lead the way into UOI. For example I asked students what 4 tens and 3 ones were and they responded 43 or drew a picture on the wall. I then broke the news to the students that we are no longer doing MATH!!!!!! They were absolutely ANGRY at me! They love math! 

I told them that today we are learning about decision making skills and we have to come up with reasons for and against keep math. We brainstormed a few reasons for (we need to for our jobs later, we need it when we go to  groceries to buy stuff) and a few reasons against (It takes a lot of time, we need time to play) Then they broke off into partners and debated against each other. Afterwards, Esha and Rohaan did a tableau for us with their ideas.


Afterwards, we finished off our heroes in the community activity and handed out homework and got ready for home.

Cheers!
