Friday has arrived!

Hi folks,

Day two of school was a good day and a welcome to a long weekend. We covered a lot of material and we move forward in the world of education...

9:00 to 10:00
Home Ec 8B
Welcome grade 8 students! Many of you have been patiently waiting to get to grade 8 so you can take my class and the time has finally arrived.
We reviewed the course outline for the semester and took a look at the KCI and teachers BLOGS...so enter your name into comments to win a gift certificate! We also discussed how the subject areas of Math, English, Science, Social and Health play an important role in Home Economics. The class concluded with a set of introduction notes.

10:00 to 11:00
Math 8A
We had a fun class working on factor trees and in your child's math journal they need to figure out the factors to five different numbers by next Wednesday...it is easy if you use a factor tree. If you get stuck remember my room is open at lunch for help.

11:15 to 12:15
Grade 9A
Like yesterday in grade 9B class we covered the course outline, talked about how to do laundry and started to discuss clothing labels. I look forward to continuing this topic next week.

1:05 to 2:05
PAA 10B
Today's review discussion focused on Lesson 9 in the clothing text and I showed students how to prepare fabric for sewing. Some things were a review other points were new. Three worksheets were handed out and need to be completed and handed in by Wednesday.

2:15 to 3:15
Food 30
Today were discussed now to measure ingredients and the importance of accuracy. We also practiced the finer points of accuracy with dry and liquid ingredients. Thank you to the students who participated in the hands on activity. We also reviewed abbreviations and completed a worksheet.

I wish all my students and enjoyable long weekend and will see you on Tuesday.
