Here is what we did today:

French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more detail. https://stjudesfrench-stella.blogspot.com

Inquiry into Language: We began our science fair project today! We wrote out or topic, purpose, hypothesis and list of materials. Here is a sneak peak of them exploring the materials before writing out their hypothesis.

Recess/Lunch

Inquiry into Math: Students completed a basic multiplication facts quiz, then went on to reviewing how to round to the nearest ten. We also reviewed how to multiply numbers by a multiple of 10, 100 or 1000. With this practice, we went on to practicing estimating products in both multiplication facts and word problems. It's important that students show the number they rounded to to help them get their estimate.

UOI:We gathered with Ms. Foti's class to learn about static electricity. We watched a video that explained what static electricity is and how it's created. Here is a link to the video we watched:

Then we completed some fun experiments to see how we can create static electricity with everyday items. We got to see how this force does not need to come into contact with another object in order for a force to be present.

Students will have a UOI quiz on Monday. The quiz will involve definitions and matching. Students were given the review today to begin practising the definitions of words.

Recess/Lunch

Extra work period: We took this time to work on our math homework and spelling homework.

AGENDA!
