Today was a great day! Thank you to all students for making me feel so welcomed.
MATH
We started the day off
with our new number sense unit, decimals. This unit will be broken down into
two quizzes rather than one unit test.
Today we specifically looked at place value with tenths and hundredths, decimals in relation to fractions, and how to change tenths into hundredths. Though it was a lot of small concepts to cover the students really seemed to grasp the base knowledge. Here is a helpful video to watch if needing further information:

LANGUAGE:
In Language we worked on OWA's, which also act as a pre-assessment for our unit on persuasive writing. By looking at this I will be able to tailor lessons to help students learn strategies needed for their Research-based Persuasive Speech. Students have been asked to do research tonight on their topic so that tomorrow we can begin the pre-writing stage of our speeches.
UOI
In UOI: Biodiversity we looked at the another way of classifying of living things, which is by Phylum. Students were able to look at the Animalia Phyla tree and better understand how they are classified by body symmetry. Students were given a group task to find the definitions of key words that are used when describing phylum characteristics.
If you want a small refresher on what the different Animalia Phyla are, here is a link that nicely describes the phyla and a few of their characteristics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6anmd7DnYw
