If you were away, view this video detailing how you will be flying to Mars in our Global Simulation. See me for your role and application form.
Here are the last two day's summaries:
Tuesday:
English Div 5: You worked on symbolism and Lord of the Flies. Read on the literal level, this book is just about a bunch of boys who go wild on an island. Read at the symbolic level, it is much, much more. Mrs. B really appreciated how engaged you were in the lesson especially given she was being assessed by her supervisor. Grade 7s you progressed through the book.
Math Div 4: You wrote an assessment on Pythagorus' Theorem. Then, you were given a variety of fractions to place on a number line on the floor outside our classroom. We could see that some of you know the value of fractions and that some of you are still learning to value them. After that, you reviewed the definition of a fraction along with vocabulary associated with them.
Social Studies Presentations Div 3, 4 We watched some personal histories from our class and others. I emailed students yesterday to remind them that this is a major term mark.
Wednesday:
English Div 5: Such an amazing follow up discussion about the symbolism in this classic. I recorded what you said while Mrs B taught. I was very impressed at the depths of your thought.
Global Simulation: You were given roles in a Global Simulation where you are flying to Mars on the first Space AB flight. The year is 2024. After you were given your roles, you were asked to fill out an application building up the character you were given. This required some creativity and a knowledge of world geography as many of you are from around the world.
We watched a couple of great presentations of family histories. A love story about Gypsies and a memorable accomplishment tied to Cops for Cancer.
Math: You played Fractionary to review basic fractions and have some fun with Mrs Bertucci.
Consider this video:
The secret word is future.
