Tuesday January 15th, 2019

Here is what we did today:


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

Music: Please see Mrs. McMillan's blog for more detail. www.mrsmcmillanmusic.blogspot.com
 
Silent Reading: We haven't engaged in silent reading in awhile and the students were very excited to get back into routine.
 
UOI: Today we focused on Fables. We learned that fables are short stories that teach us lessons which are called morals. We discussed the characteristics of this genre and then listed some examples. The students were divided into groups to read and interpret the fable.




Recess/Lunch

UOI: We worked with our groups to create a skit about the fable they read. They presented this to the class.





Inquiry into Math: Today we learned about improper and mixed fractions.

Mixed Number Fraction contains both a whole number and a proper fraction. Example: 1½ (one and a half) An Improper Fraction is where the numerator (the top number) is greater than the denominator (the bottom number). 

We did many examples together and worked through the steps on how to convert them. This took us quite some time and are slowly getting the hang of it.
 






Here are the steps (I've put them into their duotangs as well):
