Hi Everyone,
I just saw that I never hit 'post' for yesterday's blog. Sorry about that. Here it is:
I just saw that I never hit 'post' for yesterday's blog. Sorry about that. Here it is:
In today’s
math lesson, students worked on review work for the geometry unit. Students worked on their practice work while I
checked homework from the past few days. Students were called for conferencing
and instructed how to do corrections as we went along. Students who had
completed and corrected all the work for this unit got to out for recess. The
geometry unit test will be written tomorrow.
We continued
working on our City of Ember novel
study. Students met in their literature circle groups and discussed the third
chapter using their assigned roles. Once discussions were completed, students
were assigned a new literature circle role for the third chapter. They then
used class time to read Chapter 4. While they read they worked on their role
response and also worked on completing their graphic organiser. Students who
did not complete this in class are to complete it for homework. We will have
literature circle discussions tomorrow. It
is important that each group member complete the reading and their response for
the daily group discussions.
During our
inquiry time, students continued working on their electricity generation project
for this unit. The focus is ‘responsibility’ and the ‘impact of energy
production on society and the environment’. Partners continued working through
their checklist and used the information they recorded in their graphic
organiser to create a slideshow. They will need their devices tomorrow to
continue this work.
At the end
of the day we continued working on our science fair project. We viewed more
videos to help students understand how this challenge can be achieved. Everyone
was asked to generate at least three thumbnail sketches by the end of the day. Students
are asked to discuss their ideas with their families tonight.
Students are
reminded to bring in a box to begin their electric car work.
