Oh Boy- between the weather, the indoor lunch times and the cooped up energy of our children it has been a challenging week and the students have much more energy than I do!!
Homework
I have sent home a booklet which we spent math time on today working on together. It is about using the steps to solve problems using algebra. The student should have answers to the first two pages. The third page is for practise. There will be a quiz tomorrow and I have explained to the students I will be choosing five of the examples from the worksheets for that quiz.
Homework is to practise and review.
Reminder:
Tomorrow is Whacky Hat Day!!
Day in General
I shared initial Term 1 marks with the students and gave them the heads up on the grades they have achieved- not really any surprises but a couple asked for me to 'double check'. At least it takes away the 'shock' of getting the whole package on Monday and gives us a chance to check accuracy of the marks entered into the computer.
It is always nerve-wracking doing report cards.
The Term 1 packages will contain reports, an insert from Mrs. McPhee for music, the parent copy of the CAT3 test results and any special education inserts that are relevant to your children. The reports this year will follow the same format as other schools in the district and will report grades and learning outcomes covered. However, this year the intermediate teachers had the option of not using the numbering system for learning outcomes which has been very confusing in the past.
We completed the practice passage and related work for SRA reading kit. The students will begin their independent work on Monday Nov. 23rd.
A chapter of Word Nerd in which Cosmo has been targetted by his ex-con 'friends'!
A worksheet of problem solving using algebraic steps (see homework)
The students had both music and P.Ed today.
DEAR time was a bit unsettled today- lots going on after the activity of P.Ed.
I hate to say (what was I thinking?) but I ended the day with MATH!! I just needed to ensure that the majority of students understood what they were doing and why!!! I guess I'll find out after the quiz tomorrow. Let's see - a quiz on Crazy Hat Day? Like I said- was I thinking????
I will see everyone and their crazy hats tomorrow.
Mrs. J.
