Today Ms.
Russel worked with the Grade 6s in all subject areas.
Grade 6s
learned how to calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism. They did this
clearly showing all calculations, and steps including units. Students who did
not complete this in class are asked to complete p. 87 – 88 of the MMS 6
practice book for homework.
In today’s
novel study on Tuck Everlasting, we discussed Chapters 7 & 8 as a
class. Students have been assigned to complete Chapters 9 & 10 and the
responses on p. 32 – 36. This work is due tomorrow.
For our
inquiry unit, Where we are in place and time, students began work on one of
their main tasks for this unit. They will be exploring our first line of
inquiry ‘First Peoples and their interaction with the environment’ through the
lens of causation. As the work on
this project they should ask ‘Why is it like it is?’ when they consider the
interactions of their chosen people group with the environment. Students have chosen people groups around
Canada to explore. They will be working on this project independently. Students
received a package that will guide them through this project. Today they worked
on recording their research in jot note form in their graphic organiser. Students
will have two more school days to complete their research. They will need their
devices all week. On Thursday they will need access to their own POWTOON
account.
Also as part
of our inquiry unit, students began working on their Haida art project. They
sketched their artwork in pencil.
Students are
reminded to bring in their Crawford Lake trip form by Wednesday.
We spent
some time preparing for our Christmas concert performance.
Grade 6s
