ACTION!!!
A group of girls in our class had the idea that they wanted to raise money for Sick Kids! With this idea, they decided to sell ballet's for $0.25 per ballet and each ballet would go into a box. Every Friday they will randomly select 3 names to win a prize from the prize box they created. The have donated and purchased prizes that the winner's would be able to pick from. In 5 days, they have raised just over $240.00!!!! I am so amazed at what they have raised so far and can't wait to see what the next few weeks have in store for them!
Inquiry into Language
We took up our contraction worksheets from last week. We went through the list of contractions and made sure we made any corrections to the ones we got wrong. They students had an opportunity to work on the last two contraction worksheets in their duotang.
At the end of the day, we went over some quotation rules such as where the comma belongs before or after a dialogue tag. We completed an example together where students had to turn a general statement into a quotation by imagining what they could hear the person in that statement actually saying. While thinking of the quotation, we had to be careful that our dialogue tag matched how the person delivered the information provided.
Unit of Inquiry
Students continued to work on their summatives today. Some of us have started to complete our trials where we test our devices to see if they actually work. If they do not work well, students had to think of what they would have to do to improve their devices function.

Anti-bullying Activity
Today was anti-bullying day! In the morning we had a presentation on how Pink Shirt Day originated. In class, we brainstormed ideas on what we can do if we are getting bullied or if we see someone getting bullied. In addition to this, some students shared some of their experiences when they've gotten bullied in the past and how this made them feel. We had some good discussions from this. Students created a hand with some sort of saying on it relating to bullying prevention/ advice you can give to others if they're getting bullied.
Inquiry into Language
Students continued with peer-editing a peer's narrative using the checklist provided. Students will have an opportunity to look at this feedback tomorrow to see what they could have done to further develop their narrative.
Unit of Inquiry
Students continued to work on their summative packages before they were able to begin constructing their devices. Students are asked to bring in most summative supplies by tomorrow as they will begin building their devices.

Unit of Inquiry
Students got into their groups to continue working on their graphic organizers for their summatives. They all discussed the materials they would need to begin building their device and are asked to start bringing these in tomorrow so they can begin building their device. It would be ideal if student's could have their materials brought in by Thursday so they can continue building their device.
Inquiry into Math
Students completed their decimals math test today! Their fractions test will be coming home tomorrow.
Inquiry into Language
We learned all about peer editing today! As a class we went through a powerpoint to learn the three components of peer editing: compliments, suggestions and corrections.
Compliments: This is where students identify some of the things their peer did well in their writing. These need to be specific to their ideas, sentences and vocabulary used.
Suggestions: This is where students provide some suggestions on how their peers can improve their writing. These are also specific and related to sentence structure and order, vocabulary, ideas and understanding of the task.
Corrections: This is where students are correcting spelling, grammar, punctuation and capitalization mistakes. They also remove and add words that to affect the meaning of what the writer is trying to say.
Later on in the day students were given a peer's narrative to begin to edit. We didn't have much time to dive into this, however they will pick up from where they left off first thing in the morning.
Students had some silent and partner reading time today. They also had a visit to the library with Ms. Hayward.
Agenda:
- Read for 25 minutes
- Spelling Lesson 23 + Sentences
- Bring in Summative supplies tomorrow and the rest of the week
