We began our day by taking up yesterday’s math homework on equivalent
fractions.
Once that was done, it was time to head down to the
auditorium for the oral competition against The Maples Academy. Well done to
Carter, Bhavya, and Adam on their performance today. Carter took third place in
the junior division. Congratulations, Carter.
In today’s Exhibition time, students had to accomplish a few
tasks. The first was to introduce themselves to their mentor and set up a time
to meet tomorrow. All groups have
accomplished this. The next task was to generate concept questions focused on
their chosen issue. This took a lot of thought. Ms. Ymbang and I met with each
group to check on progress and discuss questions that were being generated.
In the afternoon, we headed back to the gym to support the
MYP students in their second last performance of Merchant of Manhattan. Please
come out to watch this performance tonight. It will definitely be worth braving
the weather.
We managed to squeeze a little more Exhibition in time in
before the end of the day. We discussed the central idea and lines on inquiry
that each group is required to compose about their issue. This is a difficult
task and requires a lot of thought. In addition, there are criteria that need
to be met for a central idea to be acceptable. Students will continue working
on this tomorrow.
