We started our day working with the Grade 5s for government
inquiry time. Today's challenge was for students to complete the editing of
their TV commercial, writing their persuasive speeches, and electing a
political leader who can effectively deliver the speech on election day. Most
students accomplished this. Students will practice their presentations tomorrow.
They have been asked to have both the commercial and the slide show on one
device to make things runs smoothly during presentations. Families who are able
are invited to join us for the presentations on Thursday, November 20 at 12:15.
All in attendance will have the opportunity to vote for the most promising
political party.
In math, we worked on yesterday's practice questions on
decimals. Students who did not get done in class are asked to complete p. 119
& 120 of their MMS textbooks.
Students attended Drama, French, and Gym class today.
Students who are behind on their science fair projects were
kept out of gym class to work on their projects. Students should be typing up
all the sections of their projects to paste onto their display boards. Students who are behind are strongly
encouraged to come to school early each day to work on their projects from 8 am
to 8:45 am daily. Students should all have purchased their trifold display
board.
