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 students worked on spelling lesson 2:
Grade 4 Spelling
|
Grade 5 Spelling
|
Objective: to spell one- and two- syllable words with short vowel
sounds
TIP:
|
Objective: to spell words with the hard and soft c and g sounds
TIP:
·
When a c or g is followed by the vowel e , I,
or y, it usually spells its soft sound
·
When c or g is followed by a, o, or u, it
usually spells its hard sound
|
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?
We have also begun our DRAs for this term.

Unit of Inquiry:
Today we wrote our first map quiz on the provinces, territories and capital cities of Canada. We will be having another quiz on the great lakes and important bodies of water in Canada soon. So make sure your child reviews their maps.
Today we began exploring the physical regions of Canada. We learned about the things that define a physical region: Physical Features, Climate, Vegetation, Animal Life, and Natural Resources. We started off by looking at the Cordillera.
