Here is what we did today:

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

Inquiry into Language: Today we focused on the fairy tale formula. These are the aspects that make up a fairy tale, such as setting, characters, magic, problem and solution. We watched on video to help us understand exactly how important the setting is within a story.

Then we worked on filling in a worksheet independently. As a class, we completed the fairy tale formula for the classic fairy tale, Cinderella.

Recess/Lunch

UOI: Today we focused on the difference between a fractured fairy tale and a traditional fairy tale. We read the story of the 3 Little Pigs, we completed a story mountain together as a class.

Then we read two fractured fairy tales out loud. We absolutely loved the stories! A fractured fairy tale takes an old story and recreates it in a way; changing the story in an unexpected way; altering characters, or changing the perspective of who is tell the story. As a class, we compared the traditional 3 Little Pigs to the fractured fairy tale that we read.

Inquiry into Math: We reviewed improper and mixed fractions and how to convert a mixed to improper/improper to mixed. We have a better understanding now that we completed some more questions.

Recess/Lunch

Inquiry into Math: Today we focused on comparing and ordering fractions. We worked together as a class to put the fractions in order from least to greatest and verse versa. We practiced converting improper fractions to mixed fractions so we could accurately place the fractions in order.

Some important tips to remember:
- If the denominator is the same, look at the numerator to put the fractions in order.
- There can never be improper fractions! Convert these to mixed fractions and then place them in order.

Agenda!
