Thursday 9/29
It was a productive Technology Thursday.
Here is what we did in the lab today.
Another session of Singapore math taught by Kahn Academy. They also watched a video of where Kahn showed how to do a much larger division problem. They also played around with some brain-science games.
We also discussed today the need to protect your passwords here at school and at home. I discussed how the stakes and importance get much higher in protecting your accounts as you get older. I also laid out for our “potential” hackers how the district and latter on in life the police take this seriously and there is nothing funny about hacking into someones account.
After technology we went for our weekly library visit. Many of the students struggled with treating Mrs. Klein with respect. Many students were talking amongst themselves, not facing her as she read a story and just shouting out responses. So we returned from library and I reiterated that we are learning community and that we treat each other with respect. I also talked about our need to respect each other and our need to be “learning heroes” ; So we are all going to write Mrs. Klein apology letters, due on Monday, and we are all going to do our part to help remind each other of our obligations as learners.
Universal Access time --- more fun with factoring and factoring effectively.
Math time -- dividing with zeros in the final answer. working on rounding.
Here is today’s notes.
We heard another two heritage stories and some people shared how their family stories were somewhat similar.
We then worked on our power speaking. Many students came up and gave a short speech. Mrs. Silva, who ran this lesson, was very impressed with the quality of the speeches and the extraordinary poise many of the students displayed.
***please note, I sent to you the very important typing information . If you would like your child to receive more intensive typing practice, I strongly recommend this class.
***social studies reading will be delayed until Tuesday.
Kind regards,
