As usual, we began our in-class time by taking up yesterday’s
math homework. For today’s lesson on long division, students started practice work
right away, as we had reviewed long division yesterday. Students were asked to
only complete word problem questions. They had an hour of class time to do
practice questions on p. 74 & 75 of the MMS textbook, but NOT Q 1, 2, 7, & 8. Please remember that students will be writing
a unit test on Thursday. We will do review work on Monday and Tuesday to
prepare for the test.
Writing conferences have been completed. Students will be
writing an improved interview report on Monday.
Today was the last day for students to complete their project
on power generation. As we have completed all writing conferences, students
used this time to ensure that they have completed all parts of the project by
using the checklist. We also repeated our salt water and fresh water
electricity experiment as there was some water contamination the first time we
did this. We took time to repeat our electricity fruit station experiment too,
but we used a voltmeter instead of an LED this time. Ask your child what they
observed with these experiment.
Students were asked to stay in and work on their project
during recess if they felt they would not get done by the end of the day. When
students returned from recess and lunch, they were asked to focus on the
presentation component of their project. They had to decide on a script, who
would say what, and correct pronunciation for technical terms. Students will be presenting on Monday and
Tuesday. Students are asked to please email me a copy of their presentation over
the weekend.
Grade 6s attended Art and Gym class this morning.
