Math 8

We continued working on the Pythagorean Theorem.  The concept reinforcement for tonight is on pages 44 and 45 - #10 TO #14.  After today’s lesson, I now feel that students will be ready for a test on the Pythagorean Theorem next Tuesday (Dec. 4).  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Math 7

Today, students continued learning how to compare and order fractions and decimal numbers.  The concept reinforcement is to complete Example 4 from today’s lesson which you can find in the pdf file below.

Math 6

We continued discussing decimal numbers and how to represent them in a variety of ways (in a table, with words, symbolically and using expanded notation).  After the warm up and after reviewing yesterday’s homework, we had a work period during which almost all students were able to complete a worksheet (pages 32 and 33).  Answer keys were provided at the end of class, and students corrected their work.  Anyone who did not complete the worksheet was asked to complete and correct it at home.  [No peeking at the answers!  J ]  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

We reviewed and continued working on the Pythagorean Theorem.  Students also completed their formative assessment on Section 1.5.  The concept reinforcement (a.k.a. homework) for tonight is on page 43 - #3, #4 and #5.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Math 7

Today, we reviewed terminating and periodic decimals and how to represent them as fractions.  We then began Section 3.2 of the unit which teaches students how to compare and order fractions and decimal numbers.  The concept reinforcement (a.k.a. homework) for tonight is to complete Example 2 from class today using Example 1.  Also, several students did not complete Friday’s concept reinforcement (page 89 - #5, #6, #9 and #10), so they have been given the opportunity to do so tonight.  I will re-check tomorrow.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Math 6

We continued discussing decimal numbers and how to represent them in a variety of ways (in a table, with words, symbolically and using expanded notation).  The concept reinforcement (a.k.a. homework) for tonight is on page 91 - #3, #4 and #5.  Also, many students did not complete Friday’s concept reinforcement (pages 90 and 91 - #1 and #2), so they have been given the opportunity to do so tonight.  I will re-check tomorrow.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Science 7

We reviewed procedure writing when it comes to science experiments, especially the use of the imperative verb tense.  We then did an activity in which students were required to use the imperative verb tense.  There is no homework.  

Science 6

We began discussing procedure writing when it comes to science experiments, especially the importance of verbs and specific details / word choice.  We also discussed the imperative verb tense, which is used in scientific procedures, in greater detail.  Finally, we began preparing for an activity I hope to do in class next Monday that will require students to use the imperative verb tense.  There is no homework.  You can see today’s lesson in detail in the pdf file below.

Science 7

Today, we got to know each other by doing our introductions.  We began discussing procedure writing when it comes to science experiments, especially the use of the imperative verb tense.  This lesson will continue for several days.  There is no homework.

Math 7

Today, we discussed terminating and periodic decimals and how to represent rational numbers as both fractions and decimal numbers.  This lesson will continue for another class or two.  We also went over yesterday’s homework sheet.  There is no homework tonight.

Math 6

Today, we got to know each other by doing our introductions.  We began discussing decimal numbers and how to represent them in a variety of ways (symbolically, with words, in a table and using expanded notation).  This lesson will continue for several classes.  There is no homework tonight.

Science 8

Today, we got to know each other by doing our introductions.  We began discussing procedure writing when it comes to science experiments as well as representing data in tables of values and graphs (scatter plots, bar graphs and double bar graphs).  This lesson will continue for several days.  Students continued working on a worksheet (“Les systèmes hydrographiques”) from yesterday which they will finish tomorrow.  There is no homework.

Today, I have sent home an early report for students that I teach.   Please check your child’s duotang to see the report card comment and mark for strands covered in term two.  I will be on Medical leave until after Christmas.   I will be available Wednesday should anyone want to meet for an early parent teacher.  You can also email me at angela.mcquaidmurphy@nbed.nb.ca if you would like me to give you a call to discuss your child’s progress in term one.  Please note that I will not be available to meet at the regular parent teacher time at the end of the month.

Continue to check the Website for updates as I will be giving Mme. Maltby Ingersol the ability to post updates on what they are covering in class.

Thank you for your understanding.
