Wednesday, October 26, 2011

After snack and quiet reading, the students went off to Health class with Mr. Moye.  For 2 periods, I was very excited to see Mr. Rodriguez come in to do a presentation and conduct a workshop on the Learning Skills section of the Progress and Report card.  Here are the categories, that I am sure you are familiar with.


The students were placed into 4 groups and had to use the heading of each of the Learning Skills to organize a set of favourable habits into the correct categories.  The game relied on working collaboratively (one of the Learning Skills).  Eventually they had to work together to explain to the class what skills they used to come up with the correct pairings for each Learning Skill.  There are still 4 more skills to review:  Self Regulation, Independent Work, Initiative, and Collaboration. This will be done on another day.

The Math test was reviewed in detail and the students we shown how to correctly answer the questions.  The students will have to re-do the questions they did incorrectly, showing the correct steps, to receive partial marks.  The students are allowed to use to their study sheets to help them do the questions over again.  This will be due tomorrow.

Homework:  Complete Rewrites for Math test; return email forms for office; read for 20 minutes
