Day 5
We have
under two weeks of school before the Christmas Break begins.
Students
began their week attending French class with Mme. Stella. Once in our class we
had math. We first took up Friday’s practice work on constructing and
interpreting graphs. We then did a new lesson on coordinates. Students are
asked to complete the practice work on page 188 & 189 of the MMS textbook. The
Data Measurement test will be written pm on Tuesday, December 20.
We had a
short Christmas concert rehearsal time.
After
recess, students had gym. Once back from gym they participated in peer
assessment activity. Students switched mind maps with another student in the
class. Everyone used the student generated list of criteria to assess the mind
map. They gave the work sample feedback by describing strengths and areas for
improvement. Students all have received their own mind maps back which they
should now use as a tool to study for Thursday’s test on the properties of air.
Students
then continued working on their papier mache hot air balloons. While they did
this, I began conferencing with students about their OWA preassessments on persuasive
letter writing.
In our last
segment of UOI time, we learned about aerodynamics. Students conducted 4 experiments
with moving air. In each case, they had results they did not expect. Students
made hypotheses to explain their observations. Ask your child to describe their
observations to you.
Remember to
return reregistration packages.
Look out for
after-care statements coming home with some students today.
Scholastic
orders are due on Wednesday.
