Inquiry into Language

Today in language we are preparing for our post OWA assessment on Monday. For this OWA students will be writing a narrative about becoming an innate object. Today we talked about what a grade 5 level OWA and what a below grade level OWA would look like. We also worked on 'making a plan' for our narrative writing to make sure we include all aspect of narrative writing in our work. Some students shared their work with the class.

Very focused on writing their stories

Inquiry into Math

Today in Math we learned how to estimate and calculate money to $10,000. We went over how to estimate using friendly numbers  ( $499.50 + $228.85  e.g. 500 + 200 or 250 = 700 or 750). We also went over our rounding rules. If a number is 4 and below - let it go (round down) 23 = 20.  3. If the number is 5 and above give it a shove (round up) 26=30.  We wrote money amounts in standard form - numbers (eight hundred twenty-two dollars = $822) and money amounts in written form ($745.50 = seven hundred forty-five dollars and 50 cents). We also counted different amounts of money. Homework is lesson 3 pg. 85-86

We had $10,00 to spend. This is what we bought with $120 to spare.

Working on textbook and homework questions. 

Points to remember:

When using a 24-hour notation, 12:00 AM (midnight) to 12:00 PM (noon) stays the same, but after 12:00 PM it goes to 13:00 for 1:00, 14:00 for 2:00, etc.

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. 

12:00- 11:59 AM is from midnight to noon and 12:00 – 11:59 (12:00-24:00) PM is from noon to midnight. 

Unit of Inquiry 

Today in UOI we read information about the Roman baths, Roman Clothing and Roman housing. We learned that a tunic is a loose garment, typically sleeveless and reaching to the wearer's knees and a stola was the staple garment of the married woman in Ancient Rome. It was a long gown, generally sleeveless, that hung nearly to the feet. We also learned how to keep the public Roman bathhouses clean and how to determine if a Roman was wealthy or not depending on their house.
