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
Our example
Math
Students learned 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 pages 114-115 in their workbooks. If they did not finish due to reading buddies, it is homework for tonight.
