WELCOME BACK

Here is what we did today:

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

Music: We had music with Ms. MacMillan.

Inquiry into Language: Today we reviewed adjectives! We knew that an adjective is a word that describes a noun. We practiced writing descriptive sentences by showing and not telling. How that works is by instead of saying "He was angry" we practiced adding details like what they looked like or how the person acts when they feel that particular emotion. For example: "His face was bright red and steam was rushing from his nose." We really enjoyed coming up with sentences together as a class and then worked on a worksheet independently.

Inquiry into Math: Today we continued to talked about Fractions! We used number lines to help us understand fractions and if the are closer to 0, 1/2 or 1. The number lines were benchmarks to figure out how big the fraction is. Everyone had so much fun writing fractions using the number line. We really understood this concept well! Great job Grade 3s!

UOI: We reviewed the difference and similarities between fiction and non-fiction texts. We took up the Venn diagrams they completed before the break. Then, we started to explore the genre of HORROR! We discussed how horror/scary stories use your senses to make you visualize things or develop the feeling of fear. As a class, we reviewed what were the 5 senses and adjectives you can use to describe a scary setting. We looked at pictures of "scary settings" and began to brainstorm a story that we would revolve that scary setting.
