We began our day with a question that involved analytical and creative thought. I asked the class what the most efficient vehicle in the world would look like. I asked them to collaborate in order to answer the question (I stated that two was the smallest number allowed for this activity). After five minutes we debriefed the process. These are the notes from that discussion:
Then the students returned to their creative thought. After five more minutes, we listened to some of their solutions and then watched this short video: Elf "car" article and video.
Next we went to the gym to see a dance presentation by the DS Dance troupe. Some of the dancers are current students from our school, and some were past members. It was an engaging performance and was a nice way to wrap up international dance week. The class was well behaved and respectful for the whole performance.
After recess we went right into math. In Math 7 we reviewed for the unit test that was postponed until Friday. Here are some notes:
After lunch we worked on our inquiry projects for an hour and closed the day with track and field skills development: today we did shot put and long jump.
Please remember to bring your instruments for Band on Monday.
