Was unable to complete the first post completed for some weird reason
By the way there is no homework tonight
now where was I...?
reminders continued
we will be participating in our annual Terry Fox run on Friday afternoon
our day continued (sorry- I feel a little discombobulated tonight- have to go to the local hospital to deal with another elderly parents issue!!)
our focus in Math 7 today was on the importance of the skill of multiplication
we looked at the traditional algorithm and demonstrated the place value algorithm
we practiced the 12 x table up to 12x12
all students recieved a 20times table grid for use in class and we used our Math journals to reflect on what students think they learned today (that shold be an interesting read!)
read to self time was excellent
next we spent time unpacking supplies and filling the class tote bins which I provided for everyone as the desks do not hold all the items the students come to class with!!
next we did a jigsaw type activity in which the students and I brainstormed using poster stations what we would like to see in our daily space and cooperation - I will compile the results and make them available tomorrow for further discussion and from them we will create our class Charter which everyone will sign in agreement.
I read a chapter of a novel called Word Nerd to the students as they worked on their art activities and was happy when the first thing I heard was "Can you read another chapter?"
Yes, Eddie, I can tomorrow.
The end of the day came quickly and it was time to head out into the sunshine...I have homework tonight...something is wrong with this picture!!!lol
Until Tuesday,
Have a wonderful evening,
Mrs. J.
