Sometimes the day after a break is calm and slow. Today wasn't so great. Tomorrow will be better.
Today we worked on a review for Thursday's Math test, which will cover order of operations, multiplying by a two digit number, dividing by a two digit divisor, and problems to solve with bar modeling. We will continue our review tomorrow.
For our Human Rights lesson, we grappled with some of our vocabulary by sorting our flash cards out and explaining relationships between the words. Then we got a copy of a plain language version of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which we compared to the original. Depending on the article, some of us preferred the old document to the one that was rewritten to be simpler.
In Health today, we talked about processed food. We worked in jigsaw groups to learn about foods that were whole foods, had some processing and were highly processed. For example, there was in information card for corn, canned corn, and frosted corn cereal. We discovered that the more processed the food is, the less healthy it is for humans, and the more damaging it is to the environment. Tomorrow we'll think of ways we can switch out to eat some less processed food in our diets.
No spelling or vocabulary this week. It is just too short!
