Kiva and Bar Graphs

Hello,

This morning we began to look at bar graphs. We discussed the criteria for a quality bar graph and the students worked in pairs to create a question and a bar graph to reflect the class results. We will finish up this task on Wednesday morning.

In Language we explored the Kiva website, which facilitates loans to those in need, who would like to start a business. Each student is asked to select three possible candidates. Each student will write a persuasive letter, convincing others that their candidate is the most deserving of the loan. We will be writing the letters over the next few weeks and then we will present our work to the Junior students, who will help select the recipients of two $25 loans from Mr. Skinner. Please look at the website tonight, to ensure you have some quality options.

Don't forget your crazy hairstyles for tomorrow.

Have a good night.

Mr. Skinner
