5. Fire evacuation drill tomorrow 9am!
It was nice to be back on schedule on back to our "normal" routine, if you can say that :)
In math class, we had the whole hour to complete, and double check our math tests before handing them in. Students who finished early were able to work on their health silhouette project. As a teacher, I learned more about test planning and how long it takes students to complete work under pressure. Next time, a test hopefully will only take 1 period, it was an excellent learning experience.
In social, we started a new research project that builds off our knowledge of maps and mapping and extends to a region of Alberta. We will post the checklist for the slideshow as well as the mark rubric when its created. The mark rubric will be created with the class after they have been given a couple lessons to work on their project so they're more familiar with the work. Basically, they have to research a region of Alberta, and present geographical information to the class. We will be creating a quiz based off all the information presented to the class. During groups' presentations, the students will grow their note-taking skills and write down the information they deem important.
In language arts, we continued our work with the writing process and took our brainstorms to drafts. We had to create a paragraph based on a previous conflict and make the setting of the conflict come to life using figurative language. The good copy will be due Tuesday, October 18th.
In the afternoon we had DEAR time, gym, then reading buddies, which is always a pleasure watching the grade 6s make reading come alive with the grade 2 students.
Finally, while one class had music the other continued to work on their health project.
We hope everyone has a Taco Thursday!
