Entry for Tuesday, May 5
Maybe when I finish my school work today, I could make one of these yummy treats...or any other type of food we have around the house!
We are now into Tuesday of Catholic Education Week.
Let's try to "Ignite Hope"...with our schooling.
We remember that each day this week we are asked to send a message of hope. Yesterday we wrote to our own families. Today, the message of hope is directed to our teachers
Send a message of hope to your teachers.
Here is Mr. Hamer's message of hope to his teachers from long ago.
Dear teachers, I know it was your hope that your students would turn out okay and go on to lead productive lives. I was so touched by the many interesting and informative lessons you gave me while I was a young boy in school, so much so that I decided to become a teacher just like you. It is my hope that I inspire my students in the same way.
Sincerely yours, Mr. Hamer
We really liked your prayer that you wrote for all of the teachers who taught you, Mr. Hamer!

Your Reading Task
Today's theme for hope asks you to write your own prayer for all of the teachers you have had along your journey in education.
Try to make it three sentences long.
Then, on a new sheet of paper draw a black and white picture of anything you wish to draw dealing with hope.
Now, look at the cover of the book "A Child's Garden".
Notice how it is mostly black and white with the only colour being the bird and the lovely plant...as well as the blue sky.
Add one colourful object to your black and white picture that helps to demonstrate hope.
Hope is what helps us to rise up when we feel down.
The story "A Child's Garden" really showed us that there will always be Hope no matter what, Mr. Hamer.
Math Learning
Remember yesterday when we used circles to show equivalent fractions?
Let's just review by using this new picture above.
To compare fractions, all of the shapes must be the same size. The circles above are all the same size...good!
All four circles have been coloured an equal amount even though they are split up differently.
The fractions for each circle will then be equal, or equivalent.
1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8
Today we will use bars instead of circles to continue our learning with equivalent fractions.
Notice how the three bars are all the same size.
This is good! We can compare them!
Look to verify if each coloured section is also the same size...it is! That's great! We can compare all three fractions, even though they have been split up differently.
From this chart, we have learned that:
1/3 = 2/6 = 4/12
Your Math Learning Task
For greater understanding and future study and reflection, copy the chart above with the three bars just as you see it.
Don't forget to split the bars up carefully and evenly.
Print the fractions as you see them printed.
Then, make a new chart on your own with bars.
Draw three bars.
Divide the top bar in half.
Divide the middle bar in fourths (quarters).
Draw the bottom bar in sixths.
Then...colour "half" of each bar.
Print the fraction that is coloured beside each bar.
Then print this equation at the top of your page.
1/2 = 2/4 = 3/ 6
"Hey, Mr. Hamer!" he calls out with a grin, "One-eighths of this rainbow circle is coloured red! And...two-eighths of the circle is coloured blue." The blue colour is also one quarter of the circle...that's a trick you can try to figure out!
Today in History
On May 4, 1476, Christopher Columbus spotted the island of Jamaica during his second voyage to the New World.
This was his second attempt to sail around the world...
...with a goal of reaching India.
He didn't reach India. He landed on the islands located between North America and South America.
Because he was searching for a new route to India, he called these islands the "West Indies".
For enjoyment, feel free to read one of the three books below on Christopher Columbus. Select any one to read as they are very short. If you wish, you can read one of them, two of them or all of them to learn more about this explorer!

Mme is always thrilled to see the French effort.
Some fun procedural writing on "How To Draw a Person!"
More 3D math.
Fact Families abound!
A lovely way to help Mother Earth from our Earth Day lessons!
Multiplication and Division.
Fact Families show their relationship.
Some nice looking verb work!
Indeed...we will be well prepared for Grade Three next year!
Thanks for sharing, S.G-S.
Here's a fabulous looking Hope poster!
Love the colours and the creativity!
Way to go, N.C.
We have a beautiful "Message of Hope" with lovely drawings to support this important message.
Your message is very powerful, M.S.
Your illustrations are fabulous!
Some great classroom sharing again!
Students, this little prayer helps to remind us that it was through the love of our parents we came into this world. As children, you should always be thankful and appreciative of your parents love, caring and kindness. Always be kind and respectful to them. Have a terrific Tuesday of Education Week, everyone!

With Hope being our theme, many of our read-alouds around this lovely theme will be shared this week.
Our Hope story for Tuesday will be "A Child's Garden."

Christopher Columbus had great Hope each time he set out on an adventure. If he didn't have Hope, he would not have gone on his journeys across the ocean!
Christopher Columbus must have been so brave, Mr. Hamer.
Student Sharing
It's always rewarding to have students share their work.
(Remember, you can enlarge the images by clicking on them and you can return to the regular look of the page by clicking outside the image.)
Mme is always thrilled to see the French effort.
