Christmas concert rehearsals are beginning to take up more of our daily time. We went the Dome twice today; the first time was in the morning to practice the introductory song and the second time was at the end of the day when we rehearsed our performance.

Students worked on their Term 2 OWA pre-assessment. Persuasive writing will form a large part of Term 2’s language time. Today students wrote a persuasive letter to the principal regarding their opinion on school uniforms.

I conferenced with each student today regarding their Term 1 OWA on fable and legend writing. We discussed areas of strength, areas of weakness, and what needs to be done to bring about improvement.

Students attended math class today. Ms. Joseph introduced the class to the multiplication of decimals. To multiply decimals, first multiply as if there is no decimal. Next, count the number of digits after the decimal in each number. Finally, put the same number of digits behind the decimal in the product. Homework - Complete Q 3-8, 11 & 12 from the lesson 4.7
