Day 1
Grade 6s
began their day having French class with Mme. Stella.
Once back in
our class, we took up yesterday’s math homework on interpreting data. We then
began a new lesson on finding the median for a set of data. We reviewed how to find
the mean and the mode too. Students began working on the practice work. They
are asked to complete remaining practice questions on p. 174 -175 of the MMS
textbook.
After
recess, students attended gym class.
Students continued
working on this term’s writing piece – persuasive letter writing. They worked
in groups to read samples of students writing, discuss each sample, and add
strengths and areas for improvement on a T-chart. The groups shared their ideas
with the class. We have now finished up this activity and created a
comprehensive checklist of criteria. We will begin working on student conferences
next.
We ended the
day working on discovering more about the properties of air. We learned about
the gases that make up air and that air is a fluid. We did more experiments to
discover the properties of air. Ask your child to describe these to you. Students are asked to bring in newspapers and
a big old t-shirt to use as an art smock by Thursday.
