Math:

Great job working through square roots today. Tomorrow you have an open-journal check-in to assess estimation and concept knowledge of square roots. We may throw in a Pythagorus question....just to spice things up! Please review these concepts on Khan Academy or IXL tonight to prepare yourself for your assessment tomorrow.


Science:

Great job working independently while your interviews are taking place. We have 11 lefts to do so we will be doing this tomorrow as well. We really appreciate you taking ownership of your learning, and allowing us to step away and complete the interview process. Thanks for your effort and support : )

Humanities

ELA:

Today we finished going through the questions you created from the movie we watched. We gave check-marks to the questions that were in-depth, and struck out ones that were more yes/no and didn't allow for as much detail and thought. Here is a picture of the questions:



Tomorrow we will be choosing a question and going over how to create a proper thesis statement. This is the first step in the essay process.


Social:

We had a discussion about Desire and Means to explore and watched a video that gave an overview of Chapter 6. We then created two columns in our journals that described the Indigenous and Explorer point of view of events that occurred during the beginning stages of the Age of Exploration.

Tomorrow you will have an open book test, with a partner, on Chapters 5 and 6. This is a source based test, so please make sure you have completed the Chapter 5 booklet, as well as the journal work from today.





Good Luck!
