Day 9
We began the
day with math. We took up yesterday’s homework and then worked on today’s
lesson which was understanding thousandths. This took a bit of a mind shift as
we used the cube in Base Ten blocks to represent one whole. Students previously
used it to represent 1000 whole units. The flat now represents 1 tenth, the rod
represents 1 hundredth, and the unit now represents 1 thousandth. We wrote
numbers in fraction and decimal form and also represented them on thousandths
grids. Students are asked to complete the
following practice questions on p. 119 - 120 of the MMS textbook - Q. 1 – 4, 6,
and 8.
We had language
time today. We reviewed similes and learned about personification. Students discovered
that writing sentences that show personification is more challenging than
similes. Those who did not get done in class are asked to complete or correct their
sentences at home.
Students
began UOI time by writing a test to show their knowledge and understanding of
concepts we have learned so far in this unit.
Students
continued their research of Canada’s exports during UOI time. A couple of
groups have completed their research and are ready to move onto their
storyboards tomorrow. Everyone is reminded that devices are needed every day
this week and that they need a YouTube account to upload the video once it is
done.
Grade 6s
attended French class today.
We had novel
study time. Students discussed chapter 4 in their literature circle groups.
Everyone was assigned a new role and received some class time to begin reading
chapter 5. We will have novel study time again tomorrow. Everyone should
complete their chapter 5 reading and response for homework if they did not get
done in class.
ArtReach
forms are due tomorrow, not Friday (that was my mistake – sorry).
