We are continuing and re-engaging in a Writing/Art project which relates to a key moment in the lives of the class members. We started this in Term 1 but did not get to finish. Yesterday, each student summarized and shared that event. The sharing was designed to activate some thinking about something they did once before.
For homework, and I may not have recorded this on the blog yesterday, I apologize, the class had to come up with 5 sentences. The group already has a graphic organizer to list some of the ideas for the paragraph based on this key event. I used the Interactive White Board to model my notes and a sample sentence. At the time of the writing of this blog, Ms. Machado is checking to see who did and did not do the homework.
There will be another round of reviewing Subtraction and playing of some of the Math games we did yesterday. There will be a final sheet review of subtraction (without borrowing) before a short quiz. I will then get into the topic of Subtraction, with borrowing, tomorrow. This is an area most students have some challenge with. My preparations for that lesson will have to be carefully thought out.
The students will be preparing for a short quiz tomorrow. The review sheet I mentioned will have a little creativity to it. Each student will create 10 questions and answers on a piece of paper. They will exchange it with a peer in the classroom, solve it and then return it to the owner for checking. Here is an image I managed to save from the Interactive White Board explaining what they were to do:
For homework, each student will get a copy of a "Study Quiz" created by a peer in the class. It will be marked in the morning by the person who created it. After some review there will be a short quiz .
