More Brainstomring


We began the day with a princess & super hero relay and trivia house game to celebrate Spirit Week.

Once in class, students finished up working through a review package to prepare them for the Transformational Geometry unit test that will be written tomorrow. Marked packages are coming home with students today.

Students continued working on building their explorer website on weebly.com in inquiry time. Any websites not yet completed, need to be completed for homework. Students should publish the website and email me a link to the website. We will use tomorrow's inquiry time to visit each other's websites.

Grade 6s met to discuss chapters 16 & 17 of Copper Sunrise  in literature circle groups. They then read chapters 18 to 20. All students completed their reflection on these chapters in class. We will have our last literature group meeting for this book tomorrow.

The excitement continued in Grade 6 today as we continued our discussion of topic brainstorms for exhibition. We added many more topics to the original list.
 
Students worked in groups to categorise the topics under the definition of the transdisciplinary them for Sharing the Planet use a Four Square Chart.


 
We ended the day with students secretly choosing 5 topics that they are interested in.

Grade 6s had Gym class today.
