Today we: started editing our formal letters about protecting the wetlands. Students read their work aloud to themselves and a peer to ensure their sentences made sense. They also had multiple friends read and edit their letters to help with ideas, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. At the end of the day, some students had a chance to start their good copy on the computers.
We also continued Statistics and Probability ground work by looking at the definitions and some examples of some key terms, such as probable, improbable, impossible and certain. Students then worked in groups defining scenarios with dice rolling and counter colours. For example, students predicted what the likelihood would be to pull a yellow counter out of a bag with 9 yellow, 2 blue and 3 green counters.
After lunch we had a trip to the learning commons for some new books! Students were very excited to have new stories to dive into for reading time.
The day ended with some time to catch up on missed or incomplete assignments. Some students who were away this week got a chance to learn what they missed, many students got some one-on-one teacher time for help and clarity, and those who completed everything got some time on prodigy.
One more day and the first week back to school will be a success! Hoping everyone is staying safe out there.
