French: Take a look at Mme. Stella's blog https://stjudesfrench-stella.blogspot.com
Inquiry into Language:
After French we completed our Lesson 15 spelling test. When we finished our spelling test I challenged to students to see if they could silently arrange themselves into a straight line from shortest to tallest. They used an effective strategy to do so by allowing one student to take charge in arranging the rest of their peers.
Inquiry into Math:
We had our first lesson on Fractions this afternoon. We went over what some of the key terms are from this unit. Today's lesson focused on identifying what what the numerator and denominator of a fraction is, along with using a fraction to shade in that representation. During our lesson we discussed the difference between proper and improper fractions and briefly went over some examples.
Unit of Inquiry/ Door Decorating:
This afternoon we listened to the read aloud of Goldilocks And The Three Bears. We discussed which genre this book was and what makes it fall under that category. To reflect on the features of fairytales, we individually completed a graphic organizer reflecting on the: setting, characters, magic characteristics, problem and solution of this story.
Inquiry into Language:
At the end of the day we completed our second OWA.
AGENDA:
- Read for 25 minutes
- Math fractions worksheet
- Unit of Inquiry Fairytale worksheet
- Sign and Return Math Test

Proper fractions: represents less than a whole-- the numerator is always smaller or equal to the denominator (ex. 5/7 = five sevenths)
Improper fractions: represents more than a whole-- the numerator is larger than the denominator (ex. 8/ 5 = eight fifths)
We also discussed how fractions have to be equal parts. When drawing a shape to represent a fraction we need to insure the parts are equal (or close to it).
