Students ended the month of September on a strong note. We moved into our second chapter in math today. We began to discuss different multiplication strategies during our lesson. Students are engaging one another and there was a fast moving dialogue today, which was nice to see.
I wanted to pay a special compliment to my class. I was thrilled to go through the math assessment that the students took the other day. The members of 312 showed their understanding with logical and well explained responses. An encouraging start to the 2015-2016 school year.
We also continued our look at current events, particularly the scarcity of clean water in parts of the world. Students have been focusing their energies into engaging with an informational article pertaining to the theme of the unit. This will be ongoing throughout the next few weeks.
I enjoyed getting to meet so many parents and guardians at curriculum night. Thank you all for coming.
