In today’s
math lesson, students worked on review work for the geometry unit. Students worked on their practice work while I
checked homework from the past few days. Students were called to do corrections
as we went along. Grade 6s are asked to complete the following practice work if
they did not get done in class: MMS 7 p. 157– 158. Students should also correct
all work for this unit. The geometry unit test will be written on Friday,
October 13th.
We continued
working on our City of Ember novel
study. Students met in their literature circle groups and discussed the second
chapter using their assigned roles. Once discussions were completed, students
were assigned a new literature circle role for the third chapter. They then
used class time to read Chapter 3. While they read they worked on their role
response and also worked on completing their graphic organiser. Students who
did not complete this in class are to complete it for homework. We will have
literature circle discussions tomorrow. It
is important that each group member complete the reading and their response for
the daily group discussions.
During our
inquiry time, students continued working on their electricity generation project
for this unit. The focus is ‘responsibility’ and the ‘impact of energy
production on society and the environment’. Partners continued working through
their checklist and graphic organiser to record their information. They could
leave for recess if they completed all sections of their graphic organiser. Students
will need their devices on Thursday to work on their slideshow.
At the end
of the day we began working on our science fair project. Everyone was given
time to complete their description of the design challenge. We then viewed a
few videos to help students understand how this challenge can be achieved. Everyone
was asked to generate at least one thumbnail sketch today. Students are asked
to discuss their ideas with their families tonight. We will look at more videos
tomorrow.
Students are
reminded to bring in a box to begin their electric car work.
