Wacky Wednesday

Today we started our day off with agendas as usual, we are getting quicker at writing them!
The notes for today are:

Book order
Read for 20 minutes
Math worksheet
Spelling and Cursive if not complete
Toonie for Terry
Food drive item (Oct 3)

Bell work was completing math challenges related to patterning.

Then we went to PE with Mrs Jans

After PE we had math! Today we created a number line with clothespins and string

Today we looked at comparing numbers on a number line, and filling in the spaces. As a class we created our timeline. We had benchmark numbers and then students were asked to pin their number on the clothesline. Afterwards we looked at how this would look on a number line on paper. We learned that we need to draw a dot and an arrow to represent where we are making our estimate for a number.

We worked on the textbook questions in class and the math sheet has been sent home for homework. No textbook tonight!

After math we had first lunch and recess.

After recess we had literacy. We reviewed what nouns, verbs and adjectives are and we looked at creating proper sentences. We identified each of those features of writing in sentences together and then we took some broken sentences and made them full sentences with adjectives, nouns, and verbs. After, students worked in pairs or groups of three to put together more broken sentences.

After we had music with Mr Oliver and then French with Mme. Stella, then it was time for second lunch and recess.

After recess we had UOI. For UOI we had our election, students privately went behind their booths and cast their vote of whether to keep math or not! After the vote we tallied the results and shockingly even after yesterday's debate and outpour the students voted to get rid of MATH! AH!

the votes were 10 to 7 which was very close. (Of course we are not getting rid of math) 

We then looked at a video of how voting has changed. We discussed how children cannot vote and only adults over 18 can. We looked at the past and present and how women were not allowed to vote in the past. We also talked about how it is important to vote when you get the change to do so because in some countries there is no choice!

Then it was time for home.

Cheers!!
