We began our day with our communities unit. The last 3
groups presented their 3-D models and recorded their sound scapes. We then
began a discussion of the final project for this unit. Students will be
researching a community of their choice and presenting a slide show to the
class. We examined all the transdisciplinary skills students are assessed on in
the year, and decided which skills students would be able to demonstrate
through this project (time management, presenting, acquisition and application
of knowledge, presenting research findings, and accepting responsibility).
These skills will be included in the rubric. Tomorrow we will finalise the
rubric, and students will begin working on their projects.
In math, we spent time getting to know angles. Students
learned that angles are measured between the arms of lines that meet or
intersect at a vertex. They used various Pattern Blocks as units to measure
other angles. They also compared other angles to a right angle. Each student
has received a protractor that was constructed out of wax paper using a tan
rhombus. They will use this protractor to complete their math homework tonight.
In language, students worked on list 7 spelling words. They
wrote a letter of thanks to their tour guide from the Cadbury Chocolate Factory.
Students peer edited each others letters and some have completed their good
copy.
We ended the day working on arithmetic. We spent a lot of
time on the steps in solving equations involving English measures. Students are
beginning to feel more comfortable with the process.
Students attended French and gym class today.
