Report cards were due on Monday. Some of the students had not completed all of their work. Our day started by creating lists on the board of students who needed to turn in different assignments. I spent most of the day going through piles of student work and creating check lists for each assignment. I was also working on a large flipchart sized chart with all the students names and assignments. I marked, made notes, and handed back French booklets.

I gave a mini lesson on how to make a flow chart in excell with ten students for social studies. I helped several students work on their French and other assignments.

I also taught an Art lesson to the students who had finished all their work. First, I showed the students six different oil pastel techniques. I had them divide their first page into six sections and practice each technique in a different section. I explained warm colours and cool colours. Then let them know that they were to choose their three warm colours or cool colours for their jellyfish. Second, I walked them through a sketch of a Jellyfish and showed them how they could use some of the techniques to finish the drawing. Ms. Dolejsi had asked me to make the project assessable. Before beginning , I let the students know the criteria. They had to use at least three of the techniques in their drawing. The jellyfish had to look like a jellyfish (having the top part, middle part, and tentacles). Their colour selection reflected an understanding of warm and cool colours. Their technique practice sheet had all six techniques. The criteria I set out for the drawing made it relatively easy to mark the students drawings.

Below are some example I drew and showed the students before we started.
