Entry for Wednesday, May 13
Such an inspirational quote to begin our Wednesday adventures!
As I mentioned the other day, one of the Snowbirds pilots who flew over Ottawa recently was the kindergarten friend of my daughter. He grew up down the street from us.
Below is a link to a CTV television interview with Captain Erik Temple. The Snowbird squadron was participating in a mission called "Operation Inspiration" which has seen them fly past many hospitals across the country in salute for the front line workers. Such a great mission, I say!
Check out the interview below!

Today in History
On this day in history, May 13, 1938, Louis Armstrong recorded "When the Saints Go Marching In" with his orchestra.
The song was first written as a spiritual song to lift up spirits in honour of God.
The song has been recorded countless times over by folk and jazz musicians around the world.
It has become one of the most popular songs heard around the world.
Video of Louis Armstrong and His Orchestra playing the great song.
Wonderful!
Video of one man singin all four parts of the song! Check it out!
Way too cool!
Video of a fabulous jam with many modern day musicians playing this great song. A "must see!"
Awesome!
"Say, Mr. Hamer!" the class pleads, "Can we sing the Saints song today? Please!"
Language Learning
Enjoy these two read alouds below around the topic of how music brings us joy.
Enjoy these two read alouds below around the topic of how music brings us joy.
Read Aloud for "The Music in Me"
Read Aloud for "I Know a Shy Fellow Who Swallowed a Cello!"
In the story, "The Music in Me", we saw the use of onomatipoeias. (What's that, you ask?)
First, let try to say the word
onomatopoeia
Split into syllables, the word looks like this.
on - o- mat - o - poe - ia
The word sounds like
on - o - mat - o - pee - a
Onomatopoeia is the process of creating a word that phonetically imitates, resembles or suggests the sound that the word describes.
Common onomatopoeias include animal noises such as "oink", "meow", "roar" and "chirp".
Check out the animal sounds below!
Cool!
Here is a great video explaining these words!
Check out this cool song about these strange words.

Your Reading Task
Create three sentences with an onomatopoeia word in each sentence.
When you go to print your onomatopoeia word in your sentence, draw it creatively with lots of colour and expression.
Here are two sentences Mr. Hamer created.
Good colouring of your onomatopoeia words Mr. Hamer!
These words are very creative, for sure!
That was so much fun learning about onomatopoeias, Mr. Hamer!
Math Learning
Measurement/Money
Today we begin our measurement unit on Money.
Our focus for today will be the nickel.
One nickel is worth five cents.
Why the beaver for the symbol on the nickel?
The Hurons honoured the beaver hundreds of years ago as the totem of their tribe. Native peoples used the beaver emblem to sign treaties with the first colonists. It was the fur trade that opened up the country as well.

The Hurons honoured the beaver hundreds of years ago as the totem of their tribe. Native peoples used the beaver emblem to sign treaties with the first colonists. It was the fur trade that opened up the country as well.
So, two nickels would be worth 5 + 5 cents or 2 x 5 cents
5 + 5 = 10 and 2 x 5 = 10
so two nickels equals 10 cents
Your Math Task
Complete the two sheets below.
For each example, draw the nickels, but don't draw in their beavers...just put a number 5 inside a circle to represent each nickel.
Then write the correct amount beside each drawing.
Also complete the questions at the bottom of each page.
3 nickels makes 15 cents (you do this one and all the other ones)
Any way you wish to draw the nickels would be acceptable.
Here are two possible examples.
Sheet #1
You should notice a pattern as you place the values at the end of each line of nickels!
Sheet #2
Working with money is fun, Mr. Hamer!
Student Sharing
Some lovely examples of math work from yesterday.
You aced the page! All of your conversions from improper fractions to mixed numbers are correct! Bravo!
What a great example of the "Brown Bear" style of poetry, this time with "What do you hear?" rather than "what do you see?". Simply brilliant! Thanks for sharing your two pages of great looking work R.H-F!

What a great start on your alphabet poem, C.C.
Looks wonderful so far!
