Presentation Time


Today was a happy day for students because they got to work on their electric cars. One student experienced a lot of success with a car that moved more than a metre. Everyone celebrated with this student.

We quickly reviewed the form of a limerick during language time. Students then worked on writing their own limerick independently. If their limerick met all the criteria of correct form, they proceeded to work on another limerick. By the end of class time, some students were still working on their first limerick while some were beginning their second or even third limerick.

We had novel study time today. Students met in groups to discuss Chapter 12 of The City of Ember. There was no time for reading in class. Students should complete the reading of Chapter 13 and complete their response for homework. Our next discussion takes place tomorrow.

Students attended French, and math classes today. In math, students took up their homework on comparing ratios. They then worked on the application of ratios starting with comparing heights. Students are reminded that can make comparisons only when the units are the same. They also reviewed conversion of units. Students completed question 1 from the textbook. For homework, students are to complete Q. 4 & 5 on page 60.

Presentation time has arrived. A number of groups presented their energy summative projects today. We will continue with this tomorrow.









Students should continue their research on Madagascar. Please have this ready to share with the class on Tuesday. Remember to research and prepare a traditional dish from Madagascar for International Day. Let me know when you have decided on a dish.

Friday is a PD Day for teachers. There is no school for students. Students are required to wear their winter uniform on Tuesday after the long weekend.
