We had a busy week!!!
Our lockdown practice went very smoothly. Students remained
quiet and follow all procedures discussed previously.
Unfinished Tasks
We just completed 8 weeks of school since September. All
students seemed quite familiar with our classroom routines and expectations. We
are working together to teach time management, problem-solving skills
and ownership of students’ own learning. On this note, it is important
that students keep track of their tasks and focus on completing them during the
same week. For example: the writing challenge for this week was introduced on
Monday (October 24th). Students had this activity listed on their
weekly checklist and received daily remainders about today’s due date.
Therefore, some students took some of their unfinished tasks to be completed at
home. The objective is to support them in become more accountable for their
learning and better manage their time during class. We talked about this since
Monday to avoid any surprises.
If your child has some unfinished work, below is a quick
overview to support him during the weekend:
- Reading Practice: They are reading and
answering questions about a small text called “Haunted Houses”.
- Writing Challenge: Create a complete
story about the haunted house you described and design last week.
- Grammar Lesson Mission: Write two
sentences for each of these four types:
o
Declarative
o
Interrogative
o
Imperative
o
Exclamatory
- Math – Problem of the week: One student
says that since 9>2, then 987>2134. Is he correct? Use words, pictures
and numbers to explain.
Please ask your child why he/she was unable to complete
his/her assignment(s) during class and sign the form attached to their work.
