Good
Afternoon!
Today was a day for lots of creativity in class.
Math:
Today we
looked at decimals in money as well as tenths and hundredths when looking at
mixed numbers. Both worksheets were able to allow students a further
understanding of the place value: tenth and hundredths Most students were able
to get work done in class, if not it was for homework.
Language:
We first
watched a short video about persuasive writing that had students thinking about
how their topics change peoples minds.We then continued our discussion on
speeches and we looked at the OREO persuasion writing method. We started an
OREO graphic organizer as our first steps to creating our speeches! Below
is a picture of the chart that students will be able to look at and consider
when organizing the ideas for their speeches.
UOI: Biodiversity
Students
were given the task of creating a Phylum ID card. Before starting, we looked at
the phyla tree and how to read it. Then I did a mock presentation on a
mysterious phyla, the students had to follow with the animalia phyla
trees and based on that information they had to guess my phyla, which was
chordata. This gave the students an exact idea about how to do their
own project. Next, the students worked with their partner on the ID cards. Here
is the example ID card students are to create for their assigned phylum.
