STUDY TIME

I have noticed more students taking ownership of their learning!! The students were told last week about an upcoming math test that will be happening on Friday. A couple of students have been asking me if they can take the text book home so that they can practice the questions. My answer to that.... OF COURSE!!! Way to go to those students! (You know who you are) :)

Math test on Friday- see previous blog posting to know what the test will be about.

The students will also be tested text week in Science on the topic of light. See below for their learning intentions. These are the topics that we have been learning. If the students can say that they are able to do this and give you examples of their learning, this will help them with their studying. Another way to help your child study is have them teach you the material. You can then ask open ended questions which will promote further thinking.

Learning Intentions: -I am able to describe the sources of light and explain the difference between natural and artificial light -I am able to explain what transparent, translucent and opaque is and tell the difference between all three. -I am able to explain what a reflection is and its importance. -I know how to describe a refraction. -I can explain spectrum and prism.
