Hello parents and students,
Today was our first day with almost all the students back in class! For more than a week, various students have been absent because of choir and soccer, so it was nice to have everyone back together.
We began the day by practicing our song for Arts' Night concert, the students should be practicing their songs and dances every night, we are less than 1 week away now!
In math, we checked our answers for surface area and then the students completed a review packet. The test will be next Tuesday. Any students who needed extra help, due to absences were paired up with mentors. There is an anchor chart below with overviews of the concepts that the students have learned. The students may use other methods to solve surface area (such as nets) as long as they show all their work. The students will be provided with an answer key and extra practice tomorrow.
In the afternoon, we reviewed the setting in a narrative story and then the students shared their setting descriptions with the class so we could guess what picture they had from the board. Here are a few great examples of what a setting should be.
Tomorrow, we will continue from here, so students should complete their setting examples if they were away.
In UOI, we first completed presentations on Project 101. Afterwards, the students were introduced to Scratch, the software we will be using for coding. Here is the video we watched in class that introduced the topic. The students created accounts and starting practicing. For homework tonight, the students need to complete tutorials 1-4 in the guide menu. Here is a step-by-step guide to the Slides from today in case students were away or get confused.
