Day 2
We began our
day with math. We took up yesterday’s math homework on means, modes, and medians.
We then then did a strategy lesson where we looked at logical thinking. We
spent 30 minutes on a practice problem just because there were so many
different ways to solve this problem. Students are asked to complete practice
questions on p. 177 of the MMS textbook.
In our UOI
time we finished up our investigations into the properties of air. Today we
conducted an experiment that showed us that air expands and rises when heated
and contracts and sinks when cooled. We have a little more theory to cover
tomorrow before we can look at our first flying device – the hot air balloon.
We are excited to begin work on our hot air balloon art project tomorrow. Students
are reminded to bring in a big old t-shirt to use as an art smock and some
newspaper.
We finally
did a little work on our Christmas concert performance today.
Students
attended music, French, and gym class today.
There were
some errors in the Parent-Teacher Conference appointment times that went home
yesterday. Please look for a revised Parent-Teacher conference letter coming
home today.
Look out for
reregistration packages and January hot lunch order forms coming home today.
