Today was a different day to what we are used to. The day
began with Easter Spirit Day games. Students participated in egg races. Brave
teachers smashed eggs, raw and boiled, on their heads in an effort to win house
points for their teams. Well done to Zeta for winning both games. Well done to
Kappa for the leading the house cup race.
We began our day with a math lesson on estimating and
finding percents. Again, students found the work challenging. We spent all our
practice time working together to solve the practice questions. We got up to
question 5. Students are asked to complete the remaining questions on p. 319 of the MMS textbook for homework.
Students are encouraged to refer to previous problems to remind themselves of
how to solve problems.
In today's inquiry time, students were referred to their
central idea, lines on inquiry, and concept questions. They checked to see if
they had collected all the information required.
They then worked as a group to brainstorm the paragraphs for
their essay or report. Students divided up the work. Each student was
responsible to write the first draft of at least one paragraph or more today.
We will be reading these paragraphs on Tuesday. There was no French class
today. Students used this time to work on their paragraph writing. Students who did complete their paragraphs in the time given were kept out of recess and gym class to complete their work.
