Happy Thanksgiving


In today's math time we continued working on reviewing number patterns. Most students completed the review work, but did not correct it all. Everyone is asked to correct all questions in the package over the weekend to be well prepared for the unit test on Tuesday.

In our inquiry time, I met with each student to go over the rough draft of their research paper. Students spent the rest of inquiry time writing up their second draft. Incomplete work needs to be completed at home. Some students are working on their good copy. This one is being typed up and saved and kept for latter when we will need it for display boards.

We continued working on our novel study. Students met in their discussion groups to discuss the prologue. Class time was given for the reading of chapter 1 and the answering of discussion questions. Incomplete reading and answering of questions will need to be completed at home. In order for groups to have productive discussions, students need to bring their books and novel study notebooks to school each day.

Grade 6s attended Drama, French and Gym class today.
