We started our day with math. Today’s lesson was about
conducting experiments. Students found theoretical probabilities and predicted
how many times an outcome would occur before conducting experiments that were
repeated 100 times. It was a noisy, hands-on math lesson. Students are asked to complete the practice
problems on p. 424 & 425 of the MMS textbook. The unit test for the
Probability unit will likely take place on Monday, June 6. We ran out of time for the measurement retest
today. We plan to do it tomorrow.
We met in our novel study groups to discuss chapter 9 of The Bridge to Terabithia. Students were
assigned to read and respond to chapter 10 for homework.
We had an Arts’ Night Rehearsal after first lunch. Grade 6s
used time between their tasks to work on their UOI project or novel study work
or math. Arts’ Night presenters please practice
your lines further.
We had a special treat today. We were invited by Ms. Ella
from Oakwood to join them in an animal visit from Hands on Exotics. We saw and petted many including a lemur, a bunny,
an opossum, a chinchilla, a ball python, and a kangaroo. We had no idea that
this would be happening today. Funny story: When I got home this evening my
daughter asked, “What did you do today?” I replied, “You would never guess.”
She thought of the most outrageous thing she could and said, “You petted a
kangaroo.” “Why, actually, yes, I did,” I replied. J She was very jealous, but now she also thinks
she’s a genius.
