We started off the day with our graphs and reading the morning message. We then began our Journal topic based on an old EQAO question. "You have invented an imaginary machine. Explain what it does and how it works."
We then had Drama/DPA with Ms. Leung.
After recess we did some work with probability and outcomes. We predicted outcomes of flipping a coin, and then we flipped two coins and made predictions about what the outcomes could be and which is more likely to happen. We finished the Math lesson off by drawing coloured tiles out of a bag and making predictions about what colours and how many of each colour were in the container if they knew there was 12 tiles.
After lunch we finished writing our Journals and then looked at the how we might level our writing compared to the answers on the eqao grading sheet. We realized that in general, we need to focus on adding detail and be organized in writing our ideas. Some commented that neatness helps too!
We then started our final writing form. We are going to be looking at information text. We looked at some examples of non-fiction text and looked at important features. Heading, font, pictures, captions, titles, and text. We then used our knowledge of facts to write facts about ourselves under the headings of Appearance, Diet, Habitat, and Family. We will continue this tomorrow.
After recess we had our Lesson 31 Spelling Test.
We then did a brief lesson on timelines and how we use them in history. I handed out a sheet to be completed at home with assistance of parents to record important events at different ages.
HOMEWORK: Social Studies: Time line information sheet.Record important events in your life.
