Good Afternoon Everyone!

I hope you had a fabulous night! Tomorrow is day 4 (Gym, Music and French).
Picture day is coming up this Thursday. Please make sure you have all the correct uniform pieces for your picture. Also, Halloween is just around the corner. A reminder about costumes, no masks, no weapons of any sort and no scary face paint/ costumes. 


Inquiry into Language

Today in Language we started our OWA. For our first OWA we are focusing on narrative writing. As a class we brainstormed what contents need to be included to write a narrative. Then students completed a mapping activity to help them map out a narrative paragraph.

Brainstorm

Map it out activity

Inquiry into Math

Today in Math we learned how to tell time using the 24-hour clock.  Telling time can be told in 12- hour notation or 24-hour notation. We learned that the 24 hour clock is used in the military, medical services and for flights. 12:00am - 12:00pm = 0-12 hours (Day), 1pm - 12am = 13-24 hours (Afternoon/ Night). The 24-hour notation uses 4 digits - 15:30. Students worked on Lesson 2 pg. 82-83. If it was not completed in class it is for homework.

1:00 PM – 13:00

2:00 PM – 14:00

3:00 PM – 15:00

4:00 PM  - 16:00

5:00 PM = 17:00

6:00 PM = 18:00

7:00 PM – 19:00

8:00 PM – 20:00

9:00 PM – 21:00

10:00 PM – 22:00

11:00 PM – 23:00

12:00 PM – 00:00

Then we start back at 1:00 AM.
