Let the Games Begin!

Hello,

This morning we finished going over metric conversion and area, then the students had a chance to explore some of the games I posted on Friday.

The students did a great job calculating area of a variety of shapes and then they got involved with a spirited competition, as they were all vying for the high score in the game that looked at matching measurements. Most of the top 100 scores now belong to students from our class!

During second block, we looked at some past EQAO Language packages, to get ready for tomorrow, when we begin our testing period. We looked at how writing tasks are evaluated, and how short answer reading responses are marked. We discussed the differences between level 2 and level 3 responses, and the importance of providing examples and explaining their thinking.

There is no homework tonight. The students are asked to get a good night's sleep and make sure that they are at school on time tomorrow.

Have a good night.

Mr. Skinner
