Pink Day


SJA students supported anti-bullying with a wonderful display of pink. MYP students led the school in house games that involved cooperation between houses.
 




 

We began our day with a math lesson on equivalent ratios. Students learned to solve problems involving equivalent ratios using pictures, tables (skip counting), and multiplication. Many students got half way through the practice work. Students are asked to complete the remaining questions on p. 326 & 327 of the MMS textbook for homework. Students will be writing a unit test on Wednesday, April 15.

In today's inquiry time, students read the revised draft of their paragraph to their group. The group reflected on whether changes that were requested yesterday were made. Students then edited and peer-edited the paragraphs for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. Each student wrote an edited draft of their paragraph. Students then got together to brainstorm what should be included in the introduction. They then worked together to write the first draft of the introduction. Many groups had meetings with their mentors and received additional feedback on their work. Some students had to research information that was missing from their paragraphs. Edited drafts of body paragraphs and rough drafts of introductions are due tomorrow. Students who did not get done in the time allocated missed specialist classes and recesses in an effort to catch up. Our goal is to have good copies done by Friday.
