It was a pleasure to speak with many of you last week. This school year is really moving along!
No major updates for this week. We will be heading into Advent season soon, and only 4 more school weeks until the holidays!
As we move through these weeks, we will be working on a pair of persuasive writing exercises. This week, we will be finalizing our persuasive argument for a favourite holiday or field trip. This will be followed by an "I want to be an Elf" Christmas exercise. In both instances, we will be looking at sentence structure, punctuation and paragraph formation.
In Math, we will be looking at how to measure area. This week, we will be using the unit of Post-It notes, and try to measure our desk tops. This will be followed up with some "discovery" of some rules about measuring area. As I mentioned in many interviews, there will be weekly assignments put on Magma Math (found in the student portal) to help refine their abilities.
