Today began with a short French lesson. We learned some more nouns; this time it was members of the family. We used our knowledge of the verb to be to make some simple sentences. Ex. Elle est ma soeur. Here is a copy of the page we used and here is the link: immediate family membersAfter French, we had a preliminary briefing for the snowshoe trip. I issued invitations to Tuesday's parent meeting and we did a Goggle Earth tour of the route. We also discussed how we might divide the class for the two groups (March 27-28 and April 4-5). I consider these meetings a part of the leadership development for this activity.
After recess we wrapped up our planning discussions and then started math. The 7s worked to complete the review set on pp. 121-122. That should be completed for homework. Many of the students finished in class.
After lunch we worked on our inquiry projects. I acquired some cardboard and some students learned how to use a 3-4-5 triangle to create a right angle (an important step in marking out the base to a cardboard pyramid when one doesn't have a big set square). We ended the day with our second yoga session with Nicky. Many students found it difficult to be quiet and pay attention to the instructions. I know it was the last period in the week, but still. Nicky tried to be patient, but i think she was a little surprised by the behaviour of some students. The mats were rolled up and put away nicely, though, so thank you for that.
