Word Study
On Mondays, we sort the words and discuss the spelling patterns. Today we sorted the words two ways, one by vowel sound and the other by letter patterns for long vowels. It is your responsibility to take the words home in your duotang and practice the sorting at home e.g. speed sorting or blind sorting. Your blue notebook stays at school. Each morning you complete one activity for bell work. Tomorrow you will be putting your words into alphabetical order, Wednesday is blue vowels, red consonants and Thursday is triangle spelling. If you need to take your blue notebook home to understand how to sort them, then that's fine, as long as you return it next day.
Today's sorts:
|
Long a
|
Long e
|
Long i
|
Long o
|
Long u
|
|
wave
|
bleed
|
grind
|
sold
|

|
tone
|
pool
|
|
|
feast
|
light
|
crow
|
|
|
|
|
|
soak
|
|
The sort above should teach you that there are many different spelling patterns that give you the different long vowel sounds. For example long a may be spelled -ay, ai, aCe.

The sort above should teach you the different combination of vowels and consonants that give you a long vowel sound. Practice sorting them both ways.
Math
Today we started to talk about MEASUREMENT. You should be able to draw the metric number line easily. Each unit is separated by a factor of 10. If a unit is two away (two hops), then that is a factor of 100. Three away (three hops) it is a factor of 1000. Remember...
King Henry danced merrily down chocolate mountain
km hm dam m dm cm mm
kilometres hectometres decametres metres decimetres centimetre millimetres
1cm = 10 mm (1 hop)
1 dm = 10 cm (1hop)
1 dm = 100 mm (2 hops)
1m = 100 cm (2 hops)
1 m = 1000 mm (3 hops)
A few questions for review:
The number of fast food restaurants Canada reported in 2003 fits these clues:
- The sum of the digits is 17.
- It is an even number between 17 000 and 18 000.
- There are two pairs of digits that have a difference of 6.
- No digit is greater than 7.
- The number is less than 17 100.
How many fast food restaurants were there in 2003?
Congratulations to super problem solvers Erika, Chloe and Nathan!Social Studies
Please complete as much of your research page as possible. You have been given quite some time to complete this research. Use the library books and your Many Gifts book. To determine the the physical features, you must look at the map on page 20 of your Many Gifts book, determine the physical regions that are part of your province or territory, then find that chapter in the textbook. The map on each physical region gives you most of the information you need. For natural resources you must do the same. We would like to finish the brochure BEFORE the holidays.
Religion
Today we talked about an odd man. Who was he? What was his message? I forgot to show you this simple video about this messenger....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NMHOLPWeTM
He had a very unusual diet..... but a very important message. A message that we need to follow as we prepare during the season of Advent.
Health
We began our discussion of making healthy choices with respect to the food we eat. Why do we need to eat? What is in food that we need?
NUTRIENTS!
What are the different kinds of nutrients? What are examples of each?
Take a look at a label tonight. What are the different macro and micro nutrients in the food?
Reminders:
- Practice word sorts
- Christmas Concert Monday, December 18 @ 6:00 pm at St. George Church
