Unit of Inquiry
Today
we continued looking at the Romans. We discussed clothing, housing, Roman
baths, and town life. Ask me where Roman townspeople lived and how many stories
high it was. We also began designing a coin, using two things that are important
to us.
HOMEWORK
-Finish
your coin design and answering the questions.
Working on UOI!
Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today
we learned to estimate and count money to $10,000. We used ‘friendly numbers’
to estimate/round. For example $423.99 would round to $400.00 and $789. 11 would
round to $800.00. We wrote money amounts in standard form - numbers (eight hundred
twenty-two dollars = $822) and money amounts in written form ($745.50 = seven
hundred forty-five dollars and 50 cents). We also counted different amounts of money. Remember what
each coin and bill are worth and for numbers 0-4 round to the floor (round down) and 5-9 round to the sky (round up).
Points to remember:
When
using a 24-hour notation, 12:00 AM
(midnight) to 12:00 PM (noon) stays the same, but after 12:00 PM it goes to
13:00 for 1:00, 14:00 for 2:00, etc.

Inquiry into Language
Today
we continued practicing for our OWA post-assessment (Ontario Writing
Assessment), which will take place on Monday. For this OWA will be writing a
narrative story about becoming an inanimate object. Today we continued writing
our narrative stories. We used the information from our brainstorm to write our stories. We will be taking a break from Percy Jackson for this
week and we will resume it next week.
We also visited Ms. Hayward for some quiet reading time and Origami art.
