Imports and Exports

Day 5

Students began their day attending French class with Mme. Stella.

Next was math time. Students worked on completing and correcting their review packages. Students who were waiting on me to check their work worked on their electric cars. We did not get to complete the package today. As a result, we are postponing the math test. It will now be written on Monday, October 31. We will use tomorrow’s math time to try our best to complete and correct the review work.

The class then had gym with Mr. Slyk.

We had our first literature circle discussions today. Students met in their groups to discuss chapter 1 of The City of Ember. I sat in with one of the groups to grade them according to their participation and work contribution. Students used remaining time to begin reading chapter 2. Everyone should complete their reading of chapter 2 today. Everyone has been assigned a new role for tomorrow’s discussion. The role response needs to be completed today so everyone can contribute during their group’s discussion time tomorrow.

During UOI time we reviewed some concepts covered yesterday, such as barter, trade, domestic, international, import, export. Students worked on completing the reading and questions on imports and exports on their own. Any incomplete work should be completed as homework. The UOI test has been postponed too, because the math test is now being written on Monday. The UOI test will now be written on Wednesday, November 2.

After-care fees are due tomorrow.
