Inquiry into Language 

Students completed their spelling test for the words of the week.

Jump Rope for Heart 

Math

Students continued to learn how to tell time on analog and digital clocks to the nearest 5-minute mark 

We talked about how to properly read a clock – go around by 5’s – 5 minute intervals from one number to the next

Small hand – hour - uses the numbers on the inside of the clock (if the small hand is pointing in the middle of two numbers it is always the smaller number) Big hand – minute – uses the 5’s on the outside of the clock

We also used clock manipulatives to help us. Students then completed a practice page:

Inquiry into Language 

Students were given the pre- assessment for our next OWA. Students will be learning about persuasive writing and advertisements for our final writing assessment. Today's writing was used to assess each student's prior knowledge of persuasive advertising.

Inquiry into Simple Machines 
students listened to this story



Students then were told they were going to design their own Leprechaun traps (containing one simple machine) in class next week! They drew the diagram of their trap and labelled it with the pieces they need. They then made a list of materials they will need to begin constructing their trap on Monday
