Grade 6s attended Art class with Ms. Kerr and Gym class with
Mr. Slyk this morning.
After gym, we
continued discussing ideas for International Day which is coming up later this
month. We eliminated some ideas we came up with yesterday and came up with new
ones. Each student has signed up to work on at least one part of the
presentation. Everyone has something to work on or research today. Students
will share their work with each other tomorrow.
In math time, we
took up yesterday’s homework, with special attention to question 5. We then completed
a new lesson on the 12–hour and 24-hour clock. We took time to practice converting
12-hour time to 24-hour time. We practiced finding elapsed time too. Grade 6s
had some time to work on practice problems in class. For homework, students
should complete practice questions on p. 211 - 212 of the MMS textbook.
Next up was
writing time. Students worked on completing the expository paragraph that they
began working on yesterday. I met with students to read their work, discuss
whether they met the criteria for this assignment, and make suggestions for
improvement.
During UOI time,
Grade 6s were challenged to finish tracing and outlining their tessellations in
black marker. Anybody that did not get to this step in class will need to
complete this for homework. They now have the freedom to be creative with their
tessellations in the colours they choose.
