02/08/22 – ELA Writing – CHAIRS ON STRIKE

Oh no! Our chairs have gone on strike! Our chairs have decided to go on strike because of the following reasons:

  1. You are growing quickly and are getting quite heavy!
  2. Conditions are dirty and unsanitary.
  3. Physically exhausted and not treated with respect.

Here are some reasons to…

  1. Get our chairs back / things we will do differently.
  2. Have our chairs stay on strike forever / not want them back.

 

We are focusing on the first paragraph only today: the introduction. Create your own introduction paragraph (and brainstorm your 3 reasons) to either…

  1. Persuade the chairs to come back
  2. Tell the chairs that you no longer need them

02/07/22 – Math – Comparing and Ordering Fractions

Today we visualized fractions and used visuals to help us determine which fractions are larger, equal, and smaller.

Please continue to use drawings to help you determine the order of fractions. We learned that:

  • If the numerators are the same, then the smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction is. See sample below.
  • Even though the denominator of one third (3) is smaller than the other denominator (4), it is bigger than the other fraction because it is split into fewer parts.

Here’s what we worked on today:

01/02/22 – ELA Writing – Persuasive / Opinion Writing Structure

Today we learned about the structure of persuasive writing. It is a 5 paragraph essay that begins with an introduction paragraph, 3 body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph.

Notice the different colours used in our “hamburger” graphic organizer.

  • Red ‘easy to take care of’ is a preview for the 1st body paragraph
  • Green ‘they have incredible instincts’ is a preview for the 2nd body paragraph
  • Blue ‘they are independent’ is a preview for the 3rd paragraph

Your job tonight is to post your introduction sentence! It should be no longer than one single sentence. Your goal is to communicate to readers what the rest of this essay is going to be about. Keep it simple and make it interesting so that I want to continue reading it!

 

Here are 2 example of what you might post is: 

  • Cats are unique pets that will make your life better!
  • A cat is the best four-legged companion that you need in your life!
