Thoughtful Thursday

Hello parents and students,

We had another great day today; we first started off with math where we did a group take-up session of last night’s mental math homework. I saw some really great discussions and math strategies being used. Next, we started our lesson on Order of Operation. This year, the students have to learn BMDAS (brackets, multiplication. division, addition, subtraction). They do not need to know exponents, but we did discuss it as a class together. In class, we all came up with different ways to remember the order; one example from today is Bat Man Does A Somersault. We will continue Order of Operations tomorrow as well.

         In UOI, we watched a video on variables, here is the link, and then we worked together on figuring out the independent, dependent, and control variables in different situations. The students also started working in groups to get their results. Tomorrow, we will continue our discussion on variables and the scientific method.

         In gym today, the children played a great game of capture the flag. There is a picture below, for the rest of the pictures please visit Mr.Beresford blog. Also, please note that tomorrow students will be getting permission forms for a field trip to the driving range on Tuesday, October 3rd, 2017 (morning) with Mr. Beresford.
