Day 6 !
Good afternoon SJA parents!
In math today we continued to work on our decimals unit. Today we focused on Equivalent decimals. Students looked at understanding the place value chart and where decimals fall in the chart. Check out our notes below!
Today in language the grade 4s continued to work on their speeches. Most students have now finished the rough draft and are not working on good copy writing. Here are a few things that we considered during our conferencing period:
- proper punctuation, sentence structure, and grammar
- voice and style - develop a distinct tone the sets your writing/speech apart from others
- defining unknown terms - help your audience develop their vocabulary
- descriptive language - don't give all the details away, build up to it, make it exciting/interesting
- formatting - in order to meet the time requirement (3-5 mins) consider the length of each paragraph
Today the grade 4s continued our study of Islam. Today we looked at the life of Mohammed and his teachings. The grade 4's continue to practice note taking and filtering out the important pieces of information for the text by reading as a class and contributing to our note taking as a group. Today the grade 4's also started to look at the different important festivals and holidays in Islam, they were able to take out a device and research a festival / important holiday in Islam and tomorrow we will have a class discussion on each one.
Today we had a chance to get together with our SK friends for reading buddies! Check us out below
