Math - 

Students today sorted real life objects into 3D shape categories, when we were finished we played a quick facts game. Students were asked to tell how many vertices, faces, or edges of a certain shape. If they got the answer right they were awarded with a house point.



Inquiry into Language

Today students continued with our novel study Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We read chapters 4-5 and answered comprehension questions.

Chapter 4

The Secret Workers

• The next night, Grandpa Joe continues his story: it used to be that there were thousands of people working in the Chocolate Factory, but Willy Wonka had to send them away; somehow, spies had made it into the factory, and other chocolate-makers had begun to copy Wonka's inventions.
• Sadly, Mr. Wonka had to close the factory.
• Suddenly, one day, people noticed that there was smoke coming out of the factory's chimneys. All you engineers out there know that this means the furnaces were on. 
• The Factory was back up and running, that was for sure, but still it was locked and no one was coming in or out.
• All you could see were tiny little shadows in the windows.
• Since then, Wonka's factory has made some incredible new inventions that no one has copied, and they all come out of the factory through a trap door.
• The mystery remains: who are these tiny people working in the factory?
• Before Grandpa Joe can speculate, Charlie's dad walks in with a newspaper. Today's headline: "WONKA FACTORY TO BE OPENED AT LAST TO LUCKY FEW" 

Chapter 5

The Golden Tickets

• Needless to say, this is pretty exciting news, and Grandpa Joes asks Mr. Bucket to read what it says in the newspaper.
• We get the article word for word, written as a note from Willy Wonka. It says that he has decided to allow five children into his factory this year. They will see the whole factory and go home with a lifetime supply of chocolate. This is the real deal.
• He says that in order to be one of the lucky five, you have to find a Golden Ticket inside a Wonka candy bar. They could be anywhere in the entire world.
• The whole family has different reactions to this: Grandpa Joe thinks it's a brilliant marketing strategy (he was apparently paying attention in his Economics class); Grandma Josephine feels queasy thinking about all that chocolate. The others are pretty much in shock.
• Grandpa Joe mentions to Charlie how wonderful it would be to find a golden ticket, but Charlie reminds him that he only gets one bar a year so there's no way he'll win.
• Although Grandma Georgina thinks he has just as good a chance as anyone else, Grandpa George is a little more rational: he says that the kids who have more money will get more chocolate and they'll be the ones to find the tickets.

Inquiry into Inventions 

Students got back into their research groups to write 4 facts they learned about their inventors from their research booklets. Once complete students got into their groups to practice what they are going to say in their presentations Friday. 

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