Hello Parents!
Today we started off our morning
with Math. We took up the lesson #8 homework, and then I introduced lesson #9
(Finding the area of an irregular polygon). We went through a few examples
together on the whiteboard, and then the students were instructed to answer a
few questions in their groups. We discussed these answers together once they were
done. We then moved on to our Novel Study book, and the students shared their
journal entries with their group members. Together, we read chapter 6, and then
the students were given a blank piece of paper. They were instructed to create
a protest poster, as if they were a student at the school in the book. If this
wasn’t completed in class, it must be finished for homework.
We then got ready and headed out
for recess, and then had lunch. While the students were eating, I put on a
movie (Finding Dory), which helped with the noise level (since other classes
were still in session). After lunch, we all got ready and headed out on the
French Trip. It was a great experience, and the students really seemed to enjoy
it!
When we got back to class,
students ate their snack/remaining lunch, and continued watching the movie.
While it was on, they also had time to work on their protest poster. Students
who finished their poster was even able to start/ finish their journal entry
for chapter 6! Well done! The students then filled out their agendas, and got
ready to go home.
