Week 8, Term1

Drive Time
If any parents are wondering how we start the beginning of the day, please feel free to take a look at our Drive Time document.

Work due: Friday Week 8 (Except for LSCWC on Thursday and Music in individual class music lesson)

This is a great example of last weeks simple homework expectations. Thank you Lia K!

TIMES TABLES
This week's focus are the 2 & 9 times tables. Please create a quiz, crossword or puzzle for a peer. 
Could be any type of challenge involving this weeks focus tables.

• Crossword
• Missing number quiz
• Kahoot (if you know how)
• Number Find (Like a word find but with numbers)

Although the 2 times tables are often thought to be easy, it was alarming last week to discover how many kids can not halve numbers up to 100 quickly. Please have a solid go at the 2's and reverse the questions to division.

SPELLING
Complete your look, say, cover, write, check in their LSCWC small notebook.
The 4 boxes in their LSCWC book need to be completed by Thursday.
It is best that they complete a LSCWC on separate nights. Some kids have shown great improvement with a practice test also given by their parents on one night. Please get them to slip/staple any extra practice evidence into their book, to show us.(LSD)

READING
Read for ten minutes every night or twenty minutes three times in a week.
Please find a way to read to a member of your family or friends network. (PLEASE get photo evidence)
Write a journal each week about your weeks reading. Please try to write an entry that details the developments over the week and be descriptive so that a person who has not read the text can clearly imagine the story. (In your LSCWC book by Friday morning)
You may want to include details like: 

• Character developments 
• Describing the setting
• Plot changes
• Predictions of future events

We will be asking students to share their journals throughout the weeks.
Also thank you for all of the photos being emailed to us. Don't stop. We are collecting the photos for a school presentation.

MUSIC

Listening Log is due for room 7/8.
There should be 10 songs of your choice on your playlist as well as 5-10 songs from the classical genre in your listening log (from the Classics for Kids website).

JAPANESE

If you can, discuss briefly with an adult or older sibling at home, about what kind of sentences would be useful to learn in Japanese for someone of your age. What do you think? Be prepared to list a few sentences in your table groups on Wednesday.

GEOGRAPHY (continued)
Collaborative Project

We begin assessing a group this week and the rest of the class in Weeks 9,10 and 11. The group who presents first has right of return in the Assessment Weeks.
Students have begun working on their region research project in collaborative groups.
Each group has had a leader assigned who has had to share the resouce page and project slide. (Google Slide) (Groups are below)

We will have caught up with all groups by Monday afternoon and tried to help guide them towards success. Monday is also the day we pull apart the inquiry questions so that captains and their teams understand what the inquiry questions mean, how to present them and how they tie into all of the work and research they have already done.
