Our next computation / basic facts quiz is tomorrow. Some of us are volunteering as stage crew at the grade 1/2/3 concert tomorrow evening - you would have received a permission slip on Friday. Our winter concert (with K/4/5) is Thursday evening. Doors open at 6:00 and the concert begins at 6:30. The Reading... Give It a Shot program is going on until December 13, so make sure to return reading logs in exchange for hockey cards.
Morning recap:
This morning we had a double music class to get ready for the winter concert. All the grade sixes were in music from 8:10 to 9:10. When we got back to our classroom, we did our LWW chapter 1-6 quiz. When we were done, we did read to self until everyone was ready to move on. In math, we started by working together to convert between fractions, decimals, percentages, words, and pictures. We learned a trick for going between decimals and percents (move the decimal point two spaces to the right and fill in with zeroes if needed). We then continued practicing converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers. We did some examples as a class, took a break to go to gym, and then did a page of practice questions on our own. If we finished the page of practice questions, we played a new fraction game about mixed numbers and improper fractions.
LWW quizzes have been marked but we haven't seen them yet. We'll go over it tomorrow and then bring it home for you to sign. 8 out of the 16 students who wrote the quiz today got a level 3 or 4 (66% or above).
Upcoming important dates:
