Friday April 13, 2012

Math 7:  Today the grade 7 boys continued with adding fractions.  We used fraction strips and geometric shapes to represent different fractions.  They were reminded what equivalent fractions were, and also lowest term.  They have about 10 questions for homework if they didn't finish in class.

PE: One group has completed the second set of fitness training, and will switch with the 1st group who were playing road hockey.  With many grade 8's away yesterday due to band, we played a big game of capture the flag.

Socials: Martin-we started looking at the land features of Mesopotamia after our few days working on maps of the area.  We discussed delta, plain, and top soil.  I also had them split into groups of 2-3 people and give consequences for breaking rules/laws, based on what should happen in present day, and what they thought might have happened around the time of Mesopotamia-650BCE (Thanks for Ms. McFarland who shared her excellent worksheet)

 


 



Science- Both classes should be able to define and give examples of pure substances, elements, compounds and mixtures.

English-Mr. Martin's class had today to work on their Holiday Poem, and had to work on their "tumbling book", onto which their poem will be transferred.
