Day 8
We began the
day with new math unit – Decimals. Today’s lesson was about big numbers in the media.
Students practiced writing big numbers as decimals, fractions, and in standard
form. We also practiced rounding to the tenth’s place. Students are asked to complete
practice questions on p. 116 of the MMS textbook.
Students
continued their research of Canada’s exports during UOI time. At the end of yesterday’s
lesson we learned how to use keywords when searching. This was useful today,
although many students still experienced much frustration when trying to locate
information they need. Everyone is
reminded that devices are needed every day this week and that they need a
YouTube account to upload the video once it is done.
The class
went to music and French today.
We had novel
study time. Students discussed chapter 3 in their literature circle groups.
Everyone was assigned a new role and received some class time to begin reading
chapter 4. We will have novel study time again tomorrow. Everyone should
complete their chapter 4 reading and response for homework if they did not get
done in class. Remember that the UOI test is tomorrow.
We had some
language time, where we reviewed and wrote similes. We also looked at the
structure of an action poem. Students had a few minutes to write down a quick
draft of an action poem.
Look out for
Remember Remember poem coming home today.
