Assessment Day

Day 3

Today the class was saddened that exhibition was over when the saw the mountain of work we had planned for the day. The whole day was used to work on a math preassessment task, this term’s Ontario Writing Preassessment task, and this term’s Developmental Reading Assessment. We have allocated 3 days to get this work done. We will start the new and final inquiry unit for this year on Thursday. Students who did not complete or even start these tasks today still have Tuesday and Wednesday to complete them.

 

We used the last 30 minutes of the day to have a mock spelling bee to help prepare for Thursday’s in-class contest. The Grade 6 class will be going up against a few Grade 5 students who have been working on Grade 6 spelling words this year. The competition is tough. Students should be practicing these words at home. All students received a list of words to work through last week.

 

The whole class got to go out for both recesses today and they attended gym and French class.

 

Students are asked to please send/ their exhibition Prezi’s and PowerPoints. We will need these as we work on IB Portfolios this week.

 

We will be beginning a new math unit tomorrow. Students who have lost their rulers need to replace them as we need rulers daily for the new unit. There is no math homework assigned today, but there will be math homework tomorrow.

 

Students are reminded to bring their band instruments for music class tomorrow.

 

The ordering system for June lunch is up and open. Please ensure you place your order no later than May 19th at 4:00 pm. Lunch payment is due by May 23rd 4:00 pm.

Clothing iron-on name labels are now available through Alpa.
