Reading Assessments & Presentations


Today was a very unusual day in Grade 6. We had technical difficulties with displaying presentations. As a result, not everybody got to present today. We will try to get through the remaining presentations tomorrow.

Students wrote their math test on Whole Numbers during math time.

A large portion of today was used in conducting reading assessments. Students read a text and wrote questions, predictions, summaries, inferences, reflections about the text they read. Students who have completed their reading assessment package are very relieved to have this out of the way.

Students who were not doing a reading assessment worked on reading about electrical power production in Ontario out of a publication that is the compliments of the OPG. They also conducted a practical investigation into how wires, batteries, and light bulbs can make a light turn on.

Some students worked on language work, where they combined sentences, read about paragraph structures, and identified the topic and detail sentences in a paragraph.

Look out for Fall Fair permission forms coming home today.

Homework & Reminders:

  • Bring in your devices for your presentation tomorrow if you haven't already presented
  • Electricity test moved to Monday, Sept. 22
  • Fall Fair tickets on sale this week - $10/child, $5/adult. Prices increase after Friday
