MATH

We unfortunately missed math today due to our monthly awards and house games during announcements. We will pick up Data Management next week!

LANGUAGE

Today the students wrote their spelling test for lesson 11. I will mark them for next week and send them home for you to look at. Please sign them and send them back! Thank you in advance! We worked on our good copy of our speech and those who have already completed their good copy began memorizing.

I would like the good copy of the speeches to be done for Monday so we can begin to memorize next week. Parents please help your children in anyway possible. I am looking for hook (something to grab the audiences attention), an introduction telling us their topic, paragraphs talking about different things about their topic (for example if they are talking about hockey some paragraphs they may want to talk about are rules, equipment, different leagues, etc). I then would like a closing statement tying everything in.

U.O.I.

We read some information on the Feudal System and then the students filled out a Feudal System pyramid and some fill in the blanks.

Working hard on their timeline for Medieval Times!

MATH

I still waiting on some math tests to be signed and returned. Please return it to me as soon as possible so I can put it in your child’s binder. Today the Grade 4’s looked at answering questions from pictographs and bar graphs. The Grade 3’s continued to use Venn Diagrams to sort Attribute Blocks.

LANGUAGE

Today we began our OWA (Ontario Writing Assessment) for term 2. I handed the students their assignment and gave very little direction. The Grade 4’s have to give a Recount on how they helped another student who was always alone at recess. The Grade 3’s had to write a Letter to a new student in the class stating the rules and routines of the classroom. Over the next few days I will compose a lesson on who to properly write a Recount and Letter. Then they will write the same assessment with hopes of improvement. Anytime that was left over was used for speeches and poems. I would like rough copies to be done tonight for homework.

I would like the good copy of the speeches to be done for Monday so we can begin to memorize next week. We will have tomorrow in class to work on good copies and who ever is not finished it will be assigned as homework. Parents please help your children in anyway possible. I am looking for hook (something to grab the audiences attention), an introduction telling us their topic, paragraphs talking about different things about their topic (for example if they are talking about hockey some paragraphs they may want to talk about are rules, equipment, different leagues, etc).

Today we finished up our timeline and began looking at the Feudal System. We read some information and then the students filled out a Feudal System pyramid and some fill in the blanks.

MATH

I have marked and handed back the math test. Please sign it and return it to me as soon as possible. Overall I was happy. A few silly mistakes still being made! Today we began our new unit – Data Management. We looked at how to read data from tally charts and how to use Attribute Blocks to sort.

LANGUAGE

We worked on our poems and speeches. I had originally asked for the good copy to be done by Wednesday but because of the snow day I will move it until Friday. Therefore we have today and tomorrow to complete our rough copy and begin our good copy. I am very happy with what I have seen so far. Please read over you child’s speech and assist them anyway possible. As for the poems, we are continuing to memorize and read with EXPRESSION AND TONE!

U.O.I.

Today we completed our KWL chart for Medieval Times. We also created a timeline of events during this period. Each student wrote one event for the timeline. We will begin to look at the Feudal System tomorrow!!

Our KWL chart for Medeival Times.

Working hard on creating a timeline!

Have a wonderful evening!!

Today was our Unit 4 – Multiplication and Division test. I will have them marked as soon as possible. I will also be sending them home so parents can have a look! I would ask that you sign the test and send it back. Tomorrow we start our journey in Data Management!

LANGUAGE

Today we worked on spelling lesson 11. The students wrote the words in their agenda and then completed the spelling activities. Once finished we worked on our poems and speeches. I had originally asked for the good copy to be done by Wednesday but because of the snow day I will move it until Thursday. Therefore we have today and tomorrow to complete our rough copy and begin our good copy. I am very happy with what I have seen so far.

U.O.I.

Today I introduced our new unit of…MEDIEVAL TIMES!!! I am so excited about this topic. There are so many exiting things to talk about. Some of the themes we will be talking about are the Feudal System, housing, clothing, arts and entertainment, Religion, and town life. Those are just a few!  We also hope to make a trip to Medieval Times in Toronto. Today we organized our UOI binders and will start tomorrow with a new KLW chart.

We have finished the healthy living UOI unit!!! Our KWL chart is complete!

Two of the fantatic menus! I cannot wait to look at all of them!

Have a great night!!
