10/19/21 – ELA Reading – Visualizing

Leave a comment

For the past two days, we read the book Saturdays and Teacakes. We told the story using only words and did not show the pictures. Each student was assigned one page to visualize.

Great visualizers…

  1. Identify key words that help them see what’s happening in the story
  2. Identify key images and note them down.
  3. Can explain why they chose to draw and visualize what they did.

If you weren’t here, please try to read the story ahead of time and when you return, I will let you know which page you are responsible for. This is a class wide project, so I expect your absolute best to make this a success!

Read the story below. Pardon any spelling mistakes!

10/12/21 – Social Studies – Political Spectrum and Federal Party Research begins

Leave a comment

Today for social studies, we discussed what a political spectrum is. Key points include:

  1. Not everybody has their own opinion on topics such as gun control, pipelines, the environment, and taxes.
  2. We represent our different views on a line and we refer to some topics using the words left and right.
  3. Political parties have different views, and that’s why we have to vote and elect someone who represents our views.

CANADAS POLITICAL PARTIES CHV 2 OH CIVICS CANADAS

We began researching 5 of Canada’s well-known parties and their platforms. Today, we researched the left column only.

10/06/21 – ELA Writing – Magic Words and 5 Senses in Our Writing

Leave a comment

Today we worked on developing our sentences. We turned them from…

“I like sushi” to what you see in the picture below. We used magic transition words to extend our sentences to allow our readers to visualize our words. We also banned the word because.

Build three full and grade level sentences.  Make sure to take a look at the example in the first picture.

 

10/06/21 – Math – Estimating Sums

Leave a comment

When estimating sums, you choose which benchmark to round to. This means you decide whether to round to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands. The point of this is to get an approximate answer.

Here are two strategies.

Compatible numbers means rounding, using your judgement to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands.

Compensation means rounding down, then up, then down, regardless of whether the numbers are round up numbers or round down ones.

In class, I recommended you to stick with using compatible numbers (what you already know about rounding)

Try it out! Try the examples in the pictures and then make some of your own questions up.
