Snow Day! (Again)

Okay, everyone, it's another snow day!

We're getting close to the last week before the break...the two main priorities before the break are:
  • Animal Farm reading discussion and written response
  • Finishing algebra video and quiz
With two other possible priorities:
  • Pick your topic for a sustainability inquiry and
  • Finish those fan films!
Tomorrow is day 3 and I won't be in. On Friday, we have some commitments that I'd like to uphold, namely our Skype visit with Cloudbridge Nature Reserve in Costa Rica regarding sustainability and our fan films with Mrs. Oliver's class.

Thus, Friday will continue as planned:
  • Math vids finished in the morning block, with a bit of quiz practice thrown in
  • Skype visit after lunch with a corresponding discussion of sustainability
  • Fan Films after second break
That means Animal Farm will need to be deferred to Monday. We will do discussion and written responses then. Hand in by end of day for feedback.
Math quiz will go as planned on Monday, with a quick review before hand . If you need more practice, see me on Friday and/or review the videos on the math blog.

I'll organize more class time for the Animal Farm writing on Tuesday, with time for conferencing and feedback from me, but please consider that it will still be due the Weds.

So, to recap:
Friday: all math vids finished and quiz practice, Costa Rica Skype, sustainability topics and assignment review, fan films
Monday: math review and quiz, animal farm discussion and writing in class, due at end of day, Costa Rica write up if time
Tuesday: animal farm writing feedback and revision, final copy due Weds., possible second skype, topic for sustainability due weds. Fan films last block. Fan films DUE.

If you are interested in getting a head start, everything you need is on the blog: the animal farm writing topics are listed on their own page, as is the geography assignment, and of course any math support is on the math blog.

Email me if you have any questions
Mrs. j
