Imports and Exports

Day 4

Students began their day attending Music class with Mr. Andrei.

We had a short math period today. Students used this time to begin review work for Friday’s math test. They are asked to complete as much of the review as possible for homework today. The unit test will be written this Friday.

The class then had gym with Mr. Slyk.

Ms. Fryer was a guest teacher in our class today. She led the UOI classes. Students reviewed the acronym PEPS with her. They repeated yesterday’s Fun with Photos sorting into PEPS activity. This activity went much more smoothly today, meaning the class is developing in their understanding of these terms.

Students then worked on a vocabulary list and matching activity that will help them through this unit on Canada in the World. They took this work up with Ms. Fryer. Finally, the class worked on understanding exports and imports and the reasons why we export and import goods and services. Students searched the internet to learn what Canada's top ten exports are. I checked everyone’s map work homework. Most students have completed this task. There are a few who have not labeled the capital cities and lakes. These will be included on Monday’s test. Be sure to add these to your map if you haven’t already done this.

We had debate club today. The topic, cafeteria lunches, was a much more heated discussion than I was expecting.

 

Below are the electrical safety posters the class made after Michael Neumann's visit.

 

Please remember that tomorrow is Picture Day. Students must be in full uniform. No hoodies please.
