First Friday

I was impressed with the tremendous level of productivity from the class today. The students completed the majority of their spelling, mathematics and DRA work.

Grade 6's Completed the Launch Activity  for the unit. They solved problems with large whole numbers and examined numbers greater than 999 999. Lesson 1 - Exploring 1 million.

Lesson 1 - Representing, comparing, and ordering numbers. 
The students wrote numbers up yo 999 999 in standard, expanded and written form. They had to employ 6  -column place value charts and solve a few challenging word problems.

UOI -Language 
The students had a work period to complete DRA's and spelling activities. 

UOI - Art 

Today the grade 5 -8's made IB Learner Profile drawings and graffiti. The grade 5/6's created characters/superheros that represent and contain different IB attributes. The grade 7/8's used graffiti lettering to spell out an IB attribute. 

The work is in progress and will be completed during next week's ART class.
