We spent some time on Thursday in the cooking lab taking fractions to the real world. I had a banana bread recipe that was almost entirely made of fractions and for the first time in the five years I have been doing this, every loaf turned out just right. It was fun to watch the students work out how to measure the ingredients and also make sure they were using the correct amount. The results at the end proved they really do know what they are doing.
We are coming to the conclusion of our Innovations Through Nature unit with both a project that was inspired by nature and a written article on the nature itself. Students are busy preparing for their presentations next week with constructions, Powerpoints, Keynotes and posters. I can hardly wait to see the final results. Everyone is on track and this should be concluded by Friday of next week.
I am a little behind in return work since the winter break but in the past week I did return the students Theatre Project, and Unit 3 Math. I plan on getting back their research article and decimals booklet next week. I apologize for the delay in this but there are some other things needed that had to take a precedence. Notes about this are always in the planner so you can keep track.
As we move closer to the Chinese New Year holiday, I know some of you might want to leave earlier than planned. This is fine with me but I do ask that you please let me know so I can plan accordingly. It really does help me out. I thank-you in advance for this.
That is it for the past two weeks so have a great weekend. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me and I will gladly set up a time to meet.
