Friday Update

We started the day with reading as the last of our read for the top teams, not already in the semi-finals, competed. The team cited technical difficulties as the reason for their defeat, but the grade 5 team they were up against were very strong.

After recess we did our Friday test and then did graphing in math with the extra time. Graphs are a great way to learn about the students, talk about math concepts, like fractions and percents, and all in all spend some enjoyable time doing math. The Friday tests were not handed back today as I needed more time to evaluate the 100 times table questions for report cards which come out on March 10 th.

The First nations Projects were due today. Many great reports were finished and those students earned extra computer time at the end of the day. Many students were close and finished off their reports, while those finished had free computer time. Those students still not finished will have to bring them home on the weekend as no more class time will be given for their completion.

In buddies after Lunch the students helped their little buddies with math, had a rousing game of Dr. dodge ball in the gym then, as noted above, had a free computer period for those who worked hard finishing their First Nations Mini-book projects.
