I am really hoping that the weather will be in our favour for the ski trip Friday! So far Glen Eden has still been open as they produce their own snow! If anything changes
TOMORROW IS ANTI-BULLYING DAY. We are asking that students wear pink shirts for awareness and in honour of the day.
We also have our Lesson 20 Spelling test tomorrow!
Math:
Today we had lots of sheets to work on, but they are several small concepts that students need to know before we move on to our summative project. We discussed what primary and secondary data was and when each should be used. We also looked at what Bias means (favour for one thing over another), how it can been seen in graphs and what we can then interpret from the graph. Finally, we looked at conducting surveys! It is important to know how to ask appropriate survey questions, survey the right group of people (or sample), and graph it without Bias. Though there are many sheets for homework, a lot of the questions have been done in class or should be quick to answer.
Language:
I was extremely impressed with the work ethic of the students this afternoon. Today we did a practice OWA announcements and it was incredible to see the big difference in the level of all student work. Students also had effective conversations with students about what their strengths and weaknesses were in their writing. I have high hopes for the post-assessment tomorrow!
UOI: Human Body
Unfortunately today I noticed that a lot of students had not completed an aspect of their homework (some had even lost their work!). They were to have completed the worksheets for Respiratory system and Digestive system that they had begun in class. Since this was not done, it is due tomorrow and if not done for then I will be taking away gym in order to finish. Another worksheet was given today and is an additional piece of homework. It is important students are doing their homework in time because we are going to be having a quiz for Human Body systems this coming Tuesday and I want to ensure students have plenty of time to study.
In better news, I was very impressed with how well students worked within their groups for our last systems station (The Cardiovascular System). It is great to see students using their inquiry and thinker IB profile skills.
