Hello Everyone!

UOI:  Students worked on putting their presentations together. At the moment they are looking quite wonderful! I noticed a lot of colourful pictures and information being put into their presentations. Students should continue bringing in pictures that they have printed and materials that they need to put their presentation together. Students are required to put their presentation together at school with their partner unless otherwise stated. The students are making good progress with their presentations, and if I feel that they can complete the assignment earlier I will move the due date to an earlier time. Right now, the summative task is due on October 28th!

Today in UOI, we also started another mini assignment which will be assessed. Students are required to create and write a short postcard to someone. Students picked a physical region in Canada, gathered information on that region from their folders and then wrote their postcard like they were there. Students created their own checklist so they knew what to include on their post card. They last part of the assignment, students will design the front of the postcard with a picture(s) that have aspects of the physical region they wrote about. Please see the picture below that has the checklist, examples of what can be included in the short letter as well as a written example. Students have also been given the same checklist and a rubric for clear expectations.

Math: Today we began our unit in Measurement. We had a pretest, and tomorrow we will begin working on time.
