Dear parents
and students,
We had a great
day back and we got straight into the swing of things. We started the day off
with our new number sense unit, decimals. This unit will be broken down into
two quizzes rather than one unit test. Today, we learned about tenths and hundredths,here is a video that helps to better understand that topic.
In language,
we watched a video on persuasive writing and then all the students wrote down
their speech topics and I signed off on them. Over the next week, the students
will be working on brainstorming, researching and creating a rough copy for
their speeches.
In UOI, we
reviewed the classification of living things and the 5 kingdoms. Next, we
looked at different phyla trees (plantae and animalia) and the different
vocabulary we can use to describe them. Afterwards, the students completed a
group vocabulary challenge were the students had to work together using different
resources to find the definitions of animalia characteristics. The students did a brilliant job working together;
here are some pictures from today.
Then, the
students were put into groups and assigned a ‘mysterious’ animalia phylum. They
have to work together with their partner to create an ID card and a
presentation to explain their phylum. The presentations will be on Friday.
