Students have some Math homework today pg 17 #1-3 following our Math lesson on Prime Factorization. We spent the first part of class reviewing key terms and adding them into our Math Dictionary that is to be kept at the front of the Math section in their binder. We have added these words to our Math word wall so students can keep familiar with them while working on problems. Today in English we begin making our Personal Timelines which will be used as a source of ideas for when we do personal writing. Each student needs to place at least one event per year of their life and rank it on a scale of good to bad. Unfortunately today many students decided not to use class time to their advantage and wasted it talking when they had been asked and reminded to work silently for the remainder of the class...hence a minor loss of part of recess and the resulting homework.
Tomorrow students will be doing independent reading and are reminded again to please make sure they always have their novels with them. We will be beginning reading responses to their personal reading in class in their Response Journals which will be assessed and sent home for signatures periodically.
Each student should begin to read independently each night for 20 minutes as part of their regular homework routine. This reading at home does NOT have to be the independent reading book they have chosen. They are free to read magazines, other non-fiction books, or newspapers. ALL READING IS GOOD!
For Visual Arts most students have begun their good copy of their portfolios and they will be due at end of class Friday. Those who do not finish it in class Friday will have to take it home to finish it for
Tuesday - no marks will be deducted if it is taken home as long as it is submitted first thing Tuesday morning.
Thanks
Mr Brooks
