Arts Night


We began our day with an Arts Night rehearsal. Remember that the Arts Night performance takes place at 7 pm tonight. Students are asked to arrive at 6:45 pm in their costumes.

We had novel study time when we got back to class. We discussed chapter 10 of Number the Stars. Students then had class time to read chapter 11 and complete the discussion questions independently. We took up the questions. We repeated this process once more and completed the reading, questions, and discussion for chapter 12.

Next up was math. Students read about experiments that were yet to be performed. They used the information that was given to make a prediction of how many times an outcome would take place. They then conducted the experiment and compared the results to their prediction. Once this was done, the class combined all their results and compared how close the results were to the prediction. We completed the practice questions in class. There is no math homework assigned for today. Students will be writing a unit test on probability on Monday, June 8.

The class headed back to the gym for another two run-throughs of the Arts Night performance.

Yesterday, students were introduced to the final project for our inquiry unit on religions. Due to class interruptions because of Arts Night and the spelling bee, the project has been amended in order to ensure that all students have enough class time to complete it well. Students learned that they will be reporting on how they express their own beliefs and/or values. Students will be writing a report on their beliefs and values. Students used the remainder of class time available to work on their report.

Students attended Gym class today.
