I was happy to be back in the classroom today! We began our day with math where we learned about fair versus unfair games. Students played some games and defined what it meant to be fair (having equal chances or a probability that is equally likely). I noticed after marking homework last night that students didn't use fractions or numbers to describe the probability of events. (example rolling an odd number on a die has 3/6 probability of being chosen because there are 6 possible options and 3 odd numbers). I went over this concept again with the class of using numbers to describe probability and I have asked them to correct their homework if there is a sticky note on that page- reassure them that it is alright as I wasn't here yesterday to explain their expectations. I will be checking it again tomorrow.
In language we read our Persuasive Speeches on No Uniforms to a friend in the class. We then practiced how to critique by specifically saying something we liked about the speech and one thing we thought could be improved.
After lunch, recess, and French the class was provided with more time to work on their Summative Assignments. As students work on their planners for this assignment and finish them they will begin the final copy (should it be a brochure, poster, diorama etc) students will need to bring in materials to build their project or poster board etc., as they reach those stages.
After second lunch and recess we ended the day with music and gym before completing agendas and heading off to kiss and ride.
