After practicing trapping and controlling, passing to a target and moving to an open space, students are ready for some soccer match situations.

In the afternoon we carried on with our second math unit of the year focussing on patterns which will lead us into basic algebra.

In career education, students learned the steps in goal setting using a SMART goal setting strategy. Students will use what they have learned to set personal fitness goals which they will work on for one month.

Today after completing our science observations students learned some note making strategies. They watched a video and practised using point form abbreviations, notes in their own words and focussing on the most important ideas. This is an important skill to master.

1.) CARREER EDUCATION:

Complete you fitness goal action plan. You may do the research part at school or on the weekend.

2.) MATH:

Gr 7 p25-27
Gr 6 p5-8

3.)WORD WORK:

4.)POST A RESPONSE:

Today a student found these notes, made by my grandmother, in a Harry Potter novel. We realized that this was evidence of my grandmother using many reading strategies to make meaning and deepen comprehension. We went through the reading strategies one at a time making connections between the notes and the strategies. Thank you grandma! You are a master teacher and learner!

New classmates have arrived!

Today we had several evaluations including last weeks spelling test and meaning test and a comprehension test from our class read aloud which we finished last Friday! We also competed out 3rd observation for our ecosystems. It was amazing to see all that had happened over the weekend. In one ecosystem, we found a bunch of eggs. Students researched to try to figure out what kind of eggs they were. We also saw that the roots of an onion will grow down toward the soil even if they are planted upside down. Amazing!

Student creativity is one of my favourite things. I just love the different ways people think and the ideas they have. In many years using these shape of the day cards, this is the first time a student has combined them to make new words! Can you guess what subjects were combined here?

Today the learning was out of control! In writers for shop we moved on to WRITING TIP #6 where students were introduced to a strategy called show me don't tell me where they used descriptive language to show and describe feelings, situations and settings things rather than just telling about them. In the afternoon, the learning exploded in a science ecosystem extravaganza. Students learned the difference between qualitative and quantitative data, made decisions about what data they would collect and then started their first observation and data collection. Engagement was at 100%
