Quote of the Day:
Reading Buddies with Ms. Bannon’s Class:
Inquiry into Math:
Today we checked over last nights homework. We worked on breaking down the word problems and finding the necessary information needed to create our patterns. We were able to recognize patterns from our input numbers to our output numbers and the patterns between our output numbers. We also took some time to review our
multiplication skills. We specifically focused on strategies to solve 1-digit by 2-digit multication.
We have begun our review for our first unit test - pg. 22 - 23 # 1 - 6 - due Tuesday, September 15
Our unit test is coming soon: Thursday,
September 19th
Concepts:
Input/Output Machine: Terms are presented in a chart; input
numbers are on the right and out put numbers are on the left. To obtain an
output number we must apply an operation (addition, subtract, multiplication,
or division) to our input numbers.
Growing Patterns: A pattern where each term is greater
than the previous one.
Shrinking Patterns: A pattern where each term is less than the
previous one.
Alternating Patterns: A pattern where the operation
used or term alternates getting bigger and then smaller (or vice versa).
Pattern Rule: Describes how to make a pattern.
Operation: Something done to a number or quantity. Addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division are operations.
Inquiry into Language:
Today we wrote our first spelling test. Please have your child correct
any misspelled words 10 times each. Once complete please sign the test. We also
had some time to play another round of Game of Quotes!
Spelling procedures are as follows:
1. Copy your spelling words into your
agendas in cursive
2. Define your bonus words
3. Complete spelling lesson activities
4. Hand in completed spelling activities
on Wednesdays
5. Study for spelling tests nightly
How do I know if I know my spelling words? Well, can you use
them in a sentence? Can you define the word to someone else? Do you know other words
that have the same meanings (synonyms)? Do you know words that mean the
opposite?
Unit of Inquiry:
Today we continued working on their Terry Fox Web quest worksheets. In
the morning we participated in the Terry Fox Run. Way to go everyone. Thank you for continuing his legacy and for your generous donations!
For homework, the kids are tasked with mapping Terry Fox’s Marathon of
Hope Route. I have provided a worksheet for them to plot Terry Fox’s route. Use
the internet, books, videos, etc. to assist you in completing the route.
We will be having a quiz on the provinces, territories, and capital
cities of Canada on Monday, September 16th.
Music - Please check Mr. Oliver's blog under specialist links.

Ask your child how the rest of their day went, because I'm sure they
can't wait to share it all with you!
