Here is what we did today:

Pancake Tuesday!

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

Inquiry into Language:Today we finished our novel study!! We were so sad to finish such an amazing book. We worked on some comprehension questions after the read aloud.

Reading Buddies: We read with our friends in Ms. King's class.

Recess/Lunch

UOI: We worked on our summative paragraphs. We went over the checklists to ensure we were including all the important supporting facts.

Recess/Lunch

Inquiry into Math: Today we reviewed some probability concepts like how to show for probability and what is a fair spinner. Then we explored making predictions and comparing them to actual results. We learned how to make predictions based on the number of outcomes, the probability of those outcomes and the number of trials.

Here are the steps: (I've provided a picture example)

1) Divide the number of outcomes by the number of spins/trials
2) Multiply the quotient by the numerator of the probability you are looking for.

We worked on the questions from the review together.

Here is what we did today:

We had a house game and ZETA WON!!!!

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

Inquiry into Language:Today we worked on spelling lesson 23 and our spelling sentences.

Inquiry into Math: We reviewed tree diagrams! We took up the homework and watched this video that helped us better understand that concept. Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ch0wb4MAS8

Recess/Lunch

Inquiry into Math: We learned about how to make predictions based on the our results and based on the number of trails. We did some experiments in class today and completed our homework.

UOI: We worked on our summatives with our groups. We learned today the difference between a counterargument and rebuttal. A counterargument is an argument (point/reason/view/evidence) that your opponent would make. A rebuttal is when you respond directly to your opponent's argument/point to explain/show how/why they are wrong.

Here is what we did today:

Our Open-Minded Winners:

Inquiry into Language: We started our day with our Lesson 22 spelling test. After, we continued to read our novel study, "Heidi" by Johanna Spyri. We read as a class chapters 15 and 16. The students answered the comprehension questions as a follow up activity.

Recess/Lunch

Inquiry into Math: We learned about TREE DIAGRAMS. Tree Diagrams display all the possible outcomes of an event. Each branch in a tree diagram represents a possible outcome. Tree diagrams can be used to find the number of possible outcomes and calculate the probability of possible outcomes. This was quite tricky so we did many examples together.

UOI: We started our summative! It is a debate about whether St. Jude's Corporation should develop a fertile area of land into an urban community. We watched video on how to debate and broke off into our teams. I explained to them each step of the process and we worked on our reason today.
Here are the links to the video we watched:
