Tuck Everlasting


There are just three weeks before March Break; we have lots to do before then.

We began our day with math, where we began a new unit, Patterns in Number and Geometry. We discussed the learning goals for this unit. We then began the first lesson, where students practiced showing growing patterns using pictures, tables, graphs, and pattern rules. Everybody completed at least the first practice problem in class. The remaining questions on p. 382 and 383 of the MMS textbook. Please remember to write a pattern rule that describes the relationship between the number of squares in a frame and the frame number. Students used the tables, graphs, and pattern rules to predict the number of tiles in subsequent frames.

Next up was UOI time. We got to view the projects that students have created about Canada’s Exports. It was definitely enjoyable viewing. Well done everyone on your hard work.  

We began working on our novel study for this term, Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt. We read and responded to the prologue and chapter 1.

The class had French with Mme. Villeneuve.
