We began our day with math. I met with students individually to check the review work they completed on Friday. Students were asked to complete questions 6 – 10 on p. 334 – 335 of the MMS textbook in class. Those who did not complete or correct this work in class are asked to finish it up as homework. We will work through the remaining questions tomorrow. The unit test will take place on Wednesday, April 20.
Grade 6s attended Music class with Mr. Andrei and most groups attended Gym class with Mr. Slyk. Groups that are behind used gym class time and recess time to work on their essays.
The remainder of our day was spent on Exhibition. Most groups emailed me the first typed draft of their essays. I have edited those essays. These groups should make corrections and send me the final and good copy of their essays by Wednesday, April 20. Most groups did not include a Works Cited page with a list of sources using MLA formatting. This must be added to the next essay draft. Groups who did not have their essays ready for today must send me their essays ASAP.
As groups worked on their media components, I met with them to discuss progress on their survey, interview, action component, and visual art component. Groups need help from parents in finding someone to interview as well as coordinating the interview.
Some groups met with their mentors today.
Students are reminded to work on their digital portfolios. Ms. Ymbang will be available to students to help them with any problems they have had with uploading items tomorrow and Wednesday. She will also be checking that digital portfolios are up-to-date again at this time. Wednesday is Ms. Ymbang’s last day with us.
Remember to send in old batteries that you need to safely dispose of. The Grade 1 and 2 classes at SJA will take care of this for you as part of their UOI.
Please note that squash dates have been changed.
On Wednesday morning, we will have a Spring Fundraiser assembly where we will hear who is the top student and class to have raised the most funds. Keep working at adding amounts to your pledge sheet and bring these in daily.
