The first graded paragraph was returned to the students. I was quite pleased with the results. Most of the students scored above a grade of C (60%) and were able to follow the "Success Criteria" chart we established in the class. This unit will continue and we will begin to work on writing a descriptive paragraph before the end of the week. Please ask your daughter or son, sister or brother how they performed.
The Integer tests for the Grade 7s was returned. There are a few students who will work with me, in a small group, to see if they can improve their marks and raise their score beyond the 50% mark. Please ask your son or daughter, brother or sister about how they performed.
We spent a lot of the afternoon working on a Genki Note. To quote from a publication I received, a Genki Note is "... a breath of hope, a smile, a laugh. "Genki" means a source of energy and happiness...." Some classes at AMG created these notes to send off to students in Japan who were the unfortunate victims of the Tsunami in March. Here are some samples of the work we are going to send off to Japan:
