Wednesday Why not?

Hello parents and students,

Today was a great day back after probably an eventful evening. We started the day with math and our math discussion tables about 'time'. A common mistake was that students were not reading the analog clock correctly, there is an example below. 

For example, students read the time as 10:07 however the seconds hand hasn't made it to  60 seconds just yet, so the time is 10:06.

 We then started our math concepts of today, 'Different ways of saying time' and 'Elapsed time'. We went through examples together and then the students got time to work on the sheets. A lot students had forgotten that 'quarter' means 15 minutes,' past' is after and 'to' is before. 

In UOI, the ancient civilization groups got together and they combined their research, we then came up with different teaching strategies and the groups decided on their strategy. Here are some pictures from the collaboration session. 

In language, we took our brainstorm for the science fair news report and we created a rough copy. The rough copy is due tomorrow so that the students can work on editing and the final draft. Here is an anchor chart to help with creating a successful news report.
