Hello Parents!
Today the students started off
their morning with Gym. When they got back to class, some of the students
worked on their math retest, and others began working on a report writing
package. This will help with their understanding of how to write an expository
piece, like the one they have to write for their OWA for Term 3. I also had a
few Grade 6 level spellers help with marking the spelling tests that were done
while I was absent last week. Following this, the students got ready for lunch.
After, the students got into
their UOI groups, and we had our last debate about why their country (and style
of government) is better than the rest. Overall, this was a great hands on
experience, for both the students and myself. After the debate, the students
got ready for second break. When they got back, they headed to French, and then
filled out their agendas in class. We then took up our lesson 6 math homework,
and I introduced lesson #7 (Calculating the perimeter of a rectangle). We went
through a few examples on the board, and then went through a few textbook
examples. A short while after, the students got ready to go home.
Just a few
important notes before I go:
1.
