What We've Been Up To....

10/16/2015

Today I am starting a weekly update of class activities, as seen through the students' perspectives. I've asked students in each of my classes to write a brief update on what we've worked on in class this week. Here are their thoughts:

3/4 DEB:

"We are researching explorers and then we're going to write a journal about our explorer"  - Riley, Brynn, and Alayna.

5/6 DEB:

"We learned about Coming of Age ceremonies. We are trying to make presentations for our own Coming of Age ceremonies. For example, there are slide shows, stop motion, movies, and invitations." - Levin

5th Advanced Math:

"We worked on how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals. We also worked on our contracts. We also took our retake test." - Matas

6th Advanced Math:

"We learned about Rational Numbers. In class, we worked on our summative test and the Real World Experience." - Rishendri


Thank you to the students who volunteered (or were drafted) to write this week's update. Next week, we will take our Unit 2 Pre-Assessment in 5th and 6th Advanced Math, present our Coming of Age ceremony ideas, and attempt to contact some of our explorers through twitter and email!

Have a great weekend!
