Once they were done with the test, students worked
independently on their government work, completing all pages up to and
including "How We Get the Government to Listen to Us". Students who
did not get done in class are asked to finish up at home. Grade 6s will be
writing a Government Unit Test on Thursday, November 13.
Students who completed the government work, worked on
writing a Haiku poem for the Polar Expressions Poetry Competition.
Students were away a part of the day playing squash or
tennis. They reported that they had a good time.
We ended the day with our government unit again. Ms.
Eisele's Grade 5s joined us for this time. Students were introduced to the
final task for the government unit. Ask your child to tell you about it. They
have been placed into groups and have already made progress on their projects.
We did not have time to work on our Novel studies again
today.
