The vast improvement in the multiplication skills of the class are most impressive!  Most of the class has done an excellent job in learning this skill. 

I did not post a post yesterday but I had a couple of photos from our walk home from yesterday's trip to Bloor CI.  Here they are:

A fair bit of time was spent, in the morning, working on the Health project.  Most of the time was spent explaining the guiding questions.  I explained that the questions are like little maps that will help direct the research a little more.  The project is now broken down into six key questions:

I took a couple of photos while a couple of the Grade 7s were explaining some work they were doing in Science.  Bishop and Adrian created a couple of solutions in class and were demonstrating how it worked:

Bishop adding chocolate syrup to his milk

Adrian shaking his flour and water solution

 Homework:  Continue to work on the Health project.  This would involve reading, doing some highlighting and making some jot notes based on the 6 guiding questions.  If time permits, I will do an example of what the first three answers to the questions might look like and share this with the students tomorrow.
