Good start to the week!

Math:

Today students did a brief numeracy assessment called the Monrow Sherman to give me information about where they are each starting with adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, number sense, and operations with decimals and fractions.

We also reviewed Geometric Construction skills, as tomorrow they have a hands-on assessment that asks them to identify parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and draw a perpendicular bisector and an angle bisector. Today they were given time in class to practice these skills and ask questions.

Science:

We read about and discussed terms and students put these in their Interactions and Ecosystems vocabulary tables. These are the five terms:

• organism
• species
• population
• community
• ecosystem

Tomorrow we will design a community (real or imaginary) visual journal page with species and populations labelled and community defined.

Homework:

1. Study for your math assessment (practice the above skills)
2. Brainstorm a community (e.g. space, Fortnite, a forrest, etc.) and the living things (species and populations) residing there and interacting
3. Bring back forms!!!
