Tentative Schedule (adjusted Sept. 5)

Tentative Schedule (adjusted Sept. 5)

Thursday 2 November 2017

Thoughtful Thursday

UPDATED: Please check Reminders. 

Hello parents and students,

Today, our focus started off with math and the topic of time. We reviewed answers and focused on subtraction of time (elapsed time). In subtraction of time, if the 'minutes' on the number you take-away from are smaller then you need to 'borrow' from the 'hour'. Here is an example below, it is also in the student's notebook.

I have given the students' extra time subtraction practice tonight. We then focused on the 24-hour digital clock and topics in time (decades, centuries etc.). Here is a review video on converting units of time. 

In language, we went through how to be successful in writing a news report (getting that precious level 4 😁). Then, the students edited their work and started their good copies. Their good copies are due tomorrow. Just in case, here is the information again from yesterday.




In UOI, the ancient civilization groups got together and created their lesson for tomorrow's 'class'. Here are the historian groups working together.
