Exhibition French Component & Squash

Day 5

We continued working on our Fractions, Percents, Ratios, and Rates math unit. Today’s lesson was all about equivalent ratios. Students caught onto this concept very quickly and showed a preference to using tables to show equivalent ratios. Students are asked to complete practice questions on p. 326 – 327 of the MMS textbook. Many students made excellent progress on the practice work in class.

The rest of class time was spent working on exhibition. Students began exhibition time by reflecting on the work they did last week, namely the essay, by completing a journal entry. They considered what they did well and what they could have done to improve the quality of their work. They also considered the learner profile attributes and attitudes that they have demonstrated, or have failed to demonstrate. We discussed the various outstanding required components for exhibition. Most students spent their time working on their French component. They spent some time discussing their oral component, action component, or creative components.

We ended the day on our squash trip. We had a lot of fun and look forward to going again in a few weeks time.

Students attended French class with Mme. Stella this morning.

We have a lot of action taking place around the school!

Jacob and Husmeen are collecting materials to donate to an animal shelter for their exhibition project. They are looking for cat litter. Cat food, toys for pets, clothing for pets, old blankets, animal bowls, or anything you think may help.

 Vishva in Ms. Hung’s Grade 3 class, recently became an Earth Ranger is holding a battery drive until Friday, April 7. Please bring in any old batteries and we will pass them along to Vishva.
