Hello parents and students,
Today was pink day for anti-bullying! And this morning, we had a wonderful experience watching Cinderfella, a one-person show about being kind, trying your best, and working hard. Here are some pictures from our sea-of-pink and the show today.
Next, the students completed their OWA post-assessments on persuasive announcements. This time, the students had an option to select any topic of their choice and they had to persuade the school in an announcement. There are some very creative and funny announcements and the students worked very hard. Here are pictures of the creative writers.
In math, the students were given their survey project. They had the option of creating a 1-variable or a 2-variable question regarding healthy eating or exercise. The students their decided their intervals and sample sizes. The students were also given option to complete their survey on Google form and I showed the students how to do that. Over the weekend, some students will be bringing home their surveys for sampling. The surveying should be completed by end of day Monday.
In UOI, the students checked their review sheet answers. Here is a link to the answers in case the students need to check it or misplace their copy. The new summative: Body World Exhibit was introduced as well today. The students will be creating models of body systems, this is an in-class summative. However, this weekend the students can research some ideas online and discuss their ideas with you. We will continue by researching the body system in detail on body so the students need to bring in their devices if they can.
