Grade 6s attended Art class with Ms. Kerr and Gym class with
Mr. Slyk this morning.
After gym, we discussed
what progress has been made for International Day which is coming up later this
month. Students are encouraged to find large pieces of cardboard for our
display. Students are also to research traditional food of Guam and commit to
bringing or making a platter of food. Please remember to keep all food nut
free.
In math time, we
took up Friday’s homework. Our new math lesson was a strategy lesson on logical
reasoning. Students worked independently to solve money problems using this
strategy. Most students completed all practice work in class. For homework,
students should complete practice questions on p. 218 - 219 of the MMS
textbook.
In writing time students
worked independently on colons, quotation marks, nouns, and verbs.
The annual oral
competition takes place in February. Grade 6s are asked to think about topic
ideas for their persuasive speeches.
During UOI time,
we looked at the life of Pablo Picasso as well as some of his famous art
pieces. We then began working on our own Picasso-style self-portraits. This time
was a lot of fun.
