EVERYONE REMEMBER TO BRING RUNNING SHOES.
TOMORROW IS OUR DANCE CELEBRATION ACTIVITY IN THE GYM: 9:45-10:25Today we began with the school photographer taking a grade 7 group photo and a whole-school panoramic photo and that upset the schedule a bit and band was cancelled, but we did have a chance to continue with our short story work and I gave a short lesson on the difference between literal and figurative meaning. We then discussed one of the "challenge" questions from the study guide to see how the lesson could be applied to a story.
After recess we had our class photo and then we carried on with math. I gave a group problem to the class and asked them to solve it. Interestingly, most students worked independently or in small groups, but there was no whole-group discussion until I led it at the end. At first, many students said they couldn't do it, but over time, patience, grit and a few hints got them on their way. Here is the problem and one part of the solution:
Because some students will be away tomorrow for volleyball, I am postponing the Math 7 unit test until Monday!
After lunch we worked on our socials inquiry projects. I was very pleased with the way everyone worked today; there were many good discussions going on. Next we shared p.e. outside with Division One. Some played soccer with Mr. Pond on the field, others played Person Hunt with me in the forest. We put a twist on the game today and I released the people who were "it" first, and then everyone else went to hide - some got a real surprise!
