Where in the world is M. Punnoose...?

8L: Thanks for the feedback you gave me pertaining to the first "flipped" lesson last night. I appreciate your honesty and your intelligent comments.
English: Tomorrow, we begin planning for one of the most exciting projects in grade 8: Sensory Journeys. Over dinner, ask your child to give you a little overview of what the project entails.
Math: We spent the better part of three periods working on the "Missing Angles" in geometry, and it's now time for a test. Tonight, your child can look at complementary, supplementary, alternate, corresponding, and interior angles. In addition, he or she should review the laws governing the angles of a triangle.

Math: We took up the mid-unit review and then did something radically different: I dictated the questions for a quiz, rather than hand out a paper and pencil. Following the quiz, we had a discussion about the pros and cons of doing this kind of test, and this lead to what type of learning style each student brings to the class (as well as the teacher's).
English: we are almost done our presentation of the maps for the "Carnival". By Monday I will have finished looking at your child's formative context and commentary work, so a test is coming (Tuesday/Wednesday).
