Math - 

We began our new math unit on place value. Students will be reviewing double digit addition and subtraction using base ten blocks.

Inquiry into Language

Today students continued with our novel study Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We read chapters 11-12 and answered comprehension questions.

The Miracle

·      Charlie goes into the store and orders a Wonka's Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight. Mmmm.

·      The man behind the counter is pretty fat (this is starting to be a trend), and he gives Charlie the chocolate, which Charlie proceeds to scarf down as if he's never eaten before in his life.

·      When he takes the change, Charlie realizes that he still has plenty – one more couldn't hurt, right?

·      So he buys the second chocolate bar and... BOOM... there's a Golden Ticket. A Golden Ticket!

·      The shopkeeper starts freaking out, which leads everyone around to start freaking out, too. People are excited, confused, jealous, you name it. Two people even offer to buy it off of him – for two hundred pounds! (That's several hundred dollars, and back in 1964 when the book was written, that was worth even more than it is now.)

·      Charlie is in shock. Lucky for him, the shopkeeper is a kind soul and helps him get his ticket, get his change, and get the heck out of there.  He can tell that Charlie really needs this.

·      On his way home – running as fast as he can – he passes Wonka's Factory and waves to it, knowing that he'll be back soon.

What It Said on the Golden Ticket

·      Charlie gets home, screaming to his mom that he'd found the Golden Ticket.  For a minute, there is silence because no one can believe it.

·      To prove he isn't joking, he shows the ticket to Grandpa Joe, who suddenly lights up and – wait for it – jumps out of bed and starts dancing around.

·      Mr. Bucket walks in and is told what's going on – why his ninety-six year old father is dancing around the room like a lunatic.

·      Charlie gives him the ticket, and Mr. Bucket reads it aloud to everyone else.

·      Basically, it says that the day the children will visit the factory will be the best day ever: they'll see his inventions and go home with a lifetime supply of goodies.

·      Then, the instructions: come to the factory, ticket in hand, with one or two adults from your family, on February 1.

·      But wait – February first? That's the next day. Grandpa Joe starts to panic a little, but Mrs. Bucket calms him down and asks who will go with Charlie to the factory.

·      Grandpa Joe doesn't hesitate: he wants to go. Although Mrs. Bucket suggests that Mr. Bucket go, in the end, it's decided that Grandpa Joe will be the one to accompany little Charlie. If he's dancing around, he's probably in good enough shape to take a factory tour.

·      Just then, there's a knock at the door and for the next several hours, the house is swarmed with newspapermen and photographers who want to see what lucky child found the last Golden Ticket.

Inquiry into Inventions 

Students got back into partners and continued inventing a playground of their own.

We ended our day by having gym class with Ms. Yustin, you can check out her blog at https://sjaayustin.blogspot.ca/

Math - 

Students completed their math unit test on 3D shapes.

Inquiry into Language

Today students continued with our novel study Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We read chapters 9-10 and answered comprehension questions.

Grandpa Joe Takes a Gamble

• ·      After school the next day, Grandpa Joe is the only grandparent awake. Good thing, too, because he has a secret he wants to share with Charlie.
• ·      From under his pillow, he takes a sixpence piece (a coin) he's been saving. He tells Charlie that he wants him to buy one more chocolate bar with it – maybe this will be their lucky day.
• ·      Charlie is hesitant, but he does what his grandpa says: he runs to the store to buy the chocolate and returns with it.
• ·      After some hemming and hawing over who would open it, Grandpa Joe finally does and... nothing, once again.
• ·      They both realize how silly they've been to think they'd find the ticket and they start cracking up, waking up Grandma Josephine and ending their little adventure.
• ·      At least they have a sense of humor about it.

The Family Begins to Starve

• Over the next couple of weeks, it gets really cold and snowy; Charlie's family can't think of anything but keeping warm and eating, and they aren't having much luck with either.
• Really, the family has very little food, let alone the warm, comfort food that most of us are lucky to have in the cold of winter.
• Charlie's dad has lost his job, and their only income comes from Mr. Bucket's snow-shoveling in the neighborhood.
• The whole family is worried about Charlie, who keeps standing outside Wonka's Factory, inhaling the chocolate smell, "as though he were trying to eat the smell itself" (10.9).
• Charlie begins to get thinner and weaker and he does everything he can to prevent exhaustion.
• One day on his way home from school, he spots something shiny in the snow, only to realize that he's found a fifty-pence piece. (!)
• He looks around to be sure no one dropped it and then he realizes what this means: he will get a scrumptious, much needed chocolate bar at the store nearby. And then, of course, he'll give whatever money is left over to his mother.

Inquiry into Inventions 

Students got into partners and began to brainstorm inventing a playground of their own. They planned out what things they would like on their playground and then began to construct.
