We began the
week working on our Digital Citizenship inquiry unit. Students had this time to
work on their summative task. Today’s goals were:
- Complete the background research which is to be
comprised of two pages of hand written jot notes
- Complete the planning of the
presentation/skit/activities
- Create a list of all materials and supplies
needed
- Decide on who is responsible to bring in all
materials & supplies needed – this is needed for tomorrow
Students were
reminded to focus on reflection & perspective in their
presentation/skit/activity. We also discussed an ATL skill that students will
be assessed on for this project – metacognition. This means “to think about
your thinking”. As a class we discussed lessons that were memorable and helped
students to learn or remember concepts or content. Students shared examples
from their past. As a result of this discussion, the class created a list of
Dos and Don’ts. They are to use these ideas to help design a memorable lesson
for younger students.

Students
should come to school tomorrow with all materials and supplies needed as well
as devices.
We had novel
study time next. We discussed Chapter 11. Students have been assigned to read
Chapter 12 as well as complete the responses to Chapter 12. This work is due
tomorrow.
We continued
reading samples of interview report writing. With each sample, the class
discussed strengths that they noticed and added these to the list of criteria
for this form of writing.
Grade 6s had
music, French and math class. In math class, Ms. Joseph took up the review
work. The class did not complete the review. As a result the math test is being
moved to Wednesday, May 29th.
Remember to
return permission/trip forms/payment as applicable for Cedar Glen, graduation, and
the spring fundraiser activity.
Cedar Glen
trip permissions are past due.
There is a
bake sale taking place tomorrow and on Wednesday.
