Survey

Grade 6s attended Art class with Ms. Kerr and Gym class with Ms. Lovan this morning.

We used our writing time to work on our design reflection # 5 where students described what they would do differently if they did this project again. I am happy to report that everyone has completed all reflections. Some students did stay in first recess to accomplish this.

During math time, we took up yesterday’s homework on scatter plots. Today’s lesson was about surveys. We spent time discussing the steps in a survey, particularly asking acceptable, neutral questions and how to collect data that is not biased. Ask your child to explain what bias is to you. Students ended the lesson by constructing a survey question and tally chart. They then conducted the survey on their classmates. Students are asked to complete practice questions on p. 199 of the MMS textbook.

We had literature circle time where students discussed chapter 18 of The Lightning Thief using their roles. Some students had time to read chapter 19 in class.

Today was the last day that students had class time to work on their ancient civilization project. Groups will be presenting on Monday. St. Jude’s Museum of Ancient Civilizations will be open to the public on Tuesday, from 2:30 – 3:15.

Thank you to all Grade 6 parents for supporting the Parent Guild fundraiser.
