For part of the morning, we returned to a Reading Comprehension assignment we had done earlier in the year. Like the other classes in the Senior Division, the teachers are looking to see if there have been improvements in how the students comprehend the information they read. I have not marked the assignments yet, but I am looking for some improvements given the progress I have observed from many of the learners in our class.
The balance of the morning was spent enjoying the sounds of the School of Creative and Performing Arts from Humber College. They played a variety of music (Be Bop to Cuban to Cool Jazz) and the students were very responsive and enthusiastic.
The Grade 7s had Gym in the afternoon and the 8s had a more focused and intense session in Algebra. Both classes joined together to do some improvisation in Drama. The students worked in pairs and used one line from the script of Edward the Crazy Man to begin the dialogue. We will continue this activity tomorrow and, hopefully, post some photos.
Homework: Review and memorize one line from Edward the Crazy Man for Drama on Wednesday
Grade 8s: Math from textbook
