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 worked on our spelling workbooks and spelling sentences for Lesson 16. Once that was complete, we moved on to learning about two other types of figurative language. We focused on hyperbole and personification. We watched two videos and then worked on a worksheet.

Inquiry into Math: Today we started our lesson with a warm up activity. I wrote a question on the board and the students had 5 minutes to answer them. We had a lot of fun!

Then we focused on equivalent fractions! Equivalent fractions may look different, but they have the same value. You can make equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing both top and bottom by the same amount. You only multiply or divide, never add or subtract, to get an equivalent fraction. Whatever you do to the top you do to the bottom!
For Example: to find equivalent fraction of we multiply both numerator and denominator by 2 then we get equivalent fraction.

UOI: Today we focused on the genre of poetry! We looked at two poems and labelled the structure of the poem on the side. ABBA or ABCB. We looked at which words rhymed and which lines they were on. We continue both poems independently.

Recess/Lunch

Catch up period: We worked on work from today so we don't have a lot of homework.
