Inquiry into Language – Today, we worked on our book reports for Tuck Everlasting. Our novel study for term two is done. When we get back from the break, we will be working on speeches.
Gym – After recess and lunch, the students had gym with Mr. Orr, which you can read about on his blog (http://tysonorr.blogspot.com).
Inquiry into Math – Today, we talked about ways that we organize data and why we organize data.
We did a survey for who likes what type of pizza. We organized this information into a frequency table. This is a tally chart, but there is a column labelled ‘frequency’ where you count the total amount of tally marks for that section.
Then, we constructed a pictograph. This has a title, labelled axis, options, and legend. A picture is used to represent totals.
Then, we created a bar graph using the same information. It needs a title, labels on each axis, options, and a reasonable scale.
After this, we looked at actually interpreting the information on our graph.
We will review this tomorrow.
Inquiry into Explorers – We worked on finalizing our Powtoons for tomorrow. They are due tomorrow.
Homework:
We do our best to complete work in class. In the event this is not possible, it will go home for homework. For math, students are given math homework, extra practice (optional), and a challenge question (optional).
As always, please feel free to email me with any questions.
Mr. Conte
