MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY

Today we started our day with a War Amps Presentation. It was an amazing experience learning about one of students who is a child amputee. 

Math:. Today we learned about addition equations. What is an equation? We talked about what an equation is and they told me that an equation is where both sides of the problem are equal and include an equal sign. Next we did some examples together involving two math problems on either side. It is important that children are showing their work underneath the question. For example: 5+2 =3 +____

The first step is to figure out what 5+2 and write it underneath the question. Now we can figure out "3 + what equals 7". If they do not know what the answer is through mental math, they can count up. Also, if the numbers are too big to do it using column addition on the side of the page. 

Gym: Please see Mr. Beresford's blog for more information.

UOI/Language:Today we started talking about persuasive speeches. The acronyms to remember the structure for a persuasive speech is OREO. Opinion, reason, evidence and opinion. The reason and evidence are repeated three times for three reasons (opinion 1. reason, evidence 2. reason, evidence 3. reason, evidence and restate the opinion). Next, we went through a persuasive speech and found the different parts of the OREO structure together. As practiced we created a persuasive letter as a class about why we believe recess should be longer. The letter came out really well so I do encourage you to read it!

Recess/Lunch

UOI:  We discussed the different advertising techniques used in digital and print advertisement. We completed an Advertisement Technique Matching Sheet as a group and took it up as a class. We gave examples of each technique and watched video examples of each technique. “IT’S SO FLUFFY!” –(Hyperbole) Next we talked about different colours and what they represent. Tomorrow we will expand on both concepts.
