Many Things Monday

Dear parents and students, 

I hope everyone has had a great Monday so far. We had a very busy Monday. We started off with our math quiz, I have marked most of the quizzes and hopefully the students will get the results tomorrow. Tomorrow, we will continue the second-half of decimals specifically multiplying and dividing decimals. 

In language, we completed our first literature circle for Hatchet. I have marked all the literature circles; I found that majority of the students are making sure to give thorough answers. I would recommend that moving forward the students make sure that they do the following...

• literary critic: students practice reading at home with enthusiasm, tone and pauses. 
• discussion moderator: create only higher level questions using the chart
• summarizer: make sure the summary is organized (beginning, middle, and end) and has all important details 
• Connector: try to create higher-level connections 

In UOI time today, we focused on the speech and creating our rough copy. The students have been given a checklist that they have to follow and they will be working on that the rest of the week.
