Happy Thursday Parents!

We began our math lesson today with learning how to properly collect data. We learned that we must make sure to ask four very important things:
1.       What do we want to know?
2.       What question will we ask?
3.       Who will we ask?
4.       How will we show what we learned?

We then practiced answering these questions by conducting a short survey in our class about our favourite seasons. We then graphed the data with both a bar graph and a pictograph.

In language we began with a short quiz to ensure that students understand key concepts and content. Afterwards we read the next chapter where Laura’s cousin is stung by bees after continuously misbehaving. We worked in our journals to compare the story of Charley to the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. We discussed the lesson or moral of both of the stories as well.
After lunch, recess, and French we began our UOI unit on Pioneers! The students are very excited to begin this unit and I am so excited to inquire with them, explore with them, and learn with them! 
Today we focussed on what we already know, and what we want to learn. Students looked through our new class library of pioneers to decide what they would like to learn! We then had some time to spend playing traditional pioneer games, we played cat’s cradle, and then we played find the thimble.
After second lunch and recess we completed an essential IB survey as a class for our upcoming evaluation!

At the end of the day we had time to finish organizing our IB binders and then completed agendas before heading off to kiss and ride!

Important Reminders:
  • Math Homework
  • Read 25 minutes
  • Spelling Test tomorrow: Lesson 6(review)
