Day 39

Calendar: the special helper puts up the date, adds to our weather graph, and counts days at school.

French: http://mllehousja.blogspot.com

Math: 
Students in grade 1 -
reviewed telling time to the hour and half hour. Students used their clocks to show me different times. We reviewed how the minute hand is always at the twelve when we are telling time to the hour. Students then worked on reading analog and digital times, and putting them on clocks.

Students in grade 2 - practised telling time by quarter hour and minutes. Students reviewed using their clocks they made and then completed work in their math makes sense books.

Agendas: Students wrote reminders

1.No School Friday - PD Day
2. Math homework due Nov 9th
3. Spelling test tomorrow
4. No school Wednesday - students are encouraged to visit their local cenotaph to pay respect. Houses points will be awarded for those who participate in Remembrance Day assemblies.
5. Students are all bringing home the story for our Christmas concert. Each student has been assigned a paragraph that they and a few others must memorize.
6. Students are bringing home their summative assessment outlines. Please read over and discuss with your child their ideas!

Parents please sign/initial your child's agenda to show me that you have read it, when that is done they will get a sticker to decorate their agenda each time.

Unit of inquiry:
Today we began a media booklet. We looked at a tv commercial and decided what the commercial was about, the intent of he commercial and the purpose of it. 

Language:
Students in grade one: wrote their Ontario Writing assessment. They were required to write a list of recess rules. We have been learning about list writing over the last few weeks and students were reminded to use:
numbers, bullets, or hyphens
have a title
use a capital
use a period
and give 6 rules.
Students then drew a picture of them playing at recess

Students in grade two: continued working on their graphic organizer, they are designing their own donut. They also drew a picture of their donut. We brainstormed different words we can use for our advertisement about the donut. They have to choose the product's name. Catchy phrases to gain the reader/listener's attention. They have to describe the size, colour, taste of the donut. Students will be working on this for a few days.
