Integers

In today's math time we took up all questions assigned from Friday's homework on solving equations. For today's lesson we learned that integers are numbers that show size and direction in relation to zero. Students understand that earning $10 is a positive value, but spending $10 is a negative value, and height above sea level is represented by a positive value, while depth below the ocean is a negative value. Temperature is something that students related easily to in terms of positive and negative values. They used their understanding to solve problems involving integers. Most of the class completed all their practice work in class. Well done Grade 6s!  Only students who did not get done in class will be bringing their math work home.

In our inquiry time, students continued working on their jot notes in class. Today was the last day to look for information from book sources. Students are asked to bring their devices tomorrow in order to do an internet search for their last source. We will then begin writing our rough drafts.

In language, students used our report writing anchor chart to write another, improved report. Students  also worked independently on adjectives and adverbs.

Grade 6s attended Gym class today.
