Two Posts today

Hello,

Sorry about the lack of posts over the last week. I have been at various workshops and meetings, but I will be back in class tomorrow.

Last week, we had a great Transition Day at Holy Trinity. I hope your child told you all about it. If they didn't, please have them read to you their recount of the day, which they shared with me on Google Docs.

Also in Language, we have been working on our questions for Under the Rice Moon. I shared the document with the students on their Google Drive and if they have not already finished it, they should be completing it for homework.

In Math, we finished our evaluation task for order of operations and algebra. I will be going over this task with the students on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Now, we are starting to explore fractions. For example if there were two identical sandwiches and one student ate 3/4 of his sandwich and another student ate 8/12 of her sandwich, who ate more of their sandwich. Ask your child to explain their answer and thinking to you.

Have a great night!

Mr. Skinner
