We had an invigorating early morning workout today. In
gym we continued our fitness
regime and did 2 excellent circuits consisting of star jumps (or jumping
jacks), sit ups, push ups, and knock down and build up. Today Jasmine, Ella and
Karlynn did their push ups with exemplary form; they received 100 house points
each.
This was followed by an intense game of European
handball which ended in a victory for the yellow team.
In math I returned the transformations assessment and
that is available for viewing. We continued with a lesson on congruent figures.
The students worked on practise problems from the text and the respective pages
and questions can be found in the homework and reminders tab.
We also assigned classroom responsibilities and
tables. The magic hat picked Morgan as the head of table 1 and Oliver the head
of table 2. Cole was picking from the magic hat for table 3 but he returned the
name before it could be announced. This greatly offended the magic hat and it decided that table 3 would be known as the nameless table as a punishment.
It has been quite a while since we last read our
novels in our literature circles, so we caught up with our favourite characters
during our language lesson after lunch.
Finally, during unit
of inquiry we did a health check of where we should be with our
projects and worked on our individual essay draft 3. The remainder of the lesson
was used as a work period.
Have a great weekend and see you Monday,
Aldaine
