Inquiry into Math:
Today we had a Christmas Concert rehearsal. We had a private rehearsal session with Mr. Oliver to help us fine tune our dance steps. We brainstormed a few ideas to helps us remember the moves like counting out the steps using a 4 count or an 8 count. We also noted that it is helpful to know the lyrics of the song because we can use certain verses as a point of reference when remembering our dance steps.
Inquiry into Language:
Today we wrote our lesson 14 spelling test. Spelling test scores will be sent home on Monday.
We continued working on our rough drafts for our second OWA task. Students also worked on their DRAs.
