We began our day with novel study time. We had a whole class
discussion of vocabulary students encountered in chapters 1 and 2, as well as
their thoughts on the literal, inferential, and opinion questions that they
answered on these chapters. We then read the next chapter together. Students
then worked independently to answer the next set of questions.
For the next part of the day, students wrote their second
version of a tale or legend for the writing assessment. Over the past couple of
days, we have been reading a variety of samples of students writing. Grade 6s
were able to accurately determine the level of each writing piece, and justify
why the piece was worth that level in terms of
strengths and weaknesses. We used the samples to create an anchor chart
of what makes a tale or legend awesome. This chart was displayed in the
classroom while students either wrote an improved version of their original
legend or wrote a new legend idea.
Once students completed the writing assessment, they began
working independently on their math review package. Students are asked to
complete the package for homework. I will check packages on Monday. Students
may then write the unit test on Monday if they are ready to do so. Students who
are not ready on Monday, will write the test on Tuesday. They will be kept out
of gym and second recess to write the test. The reason for this change is due
to our trip on Tuesday.
Grade 6s attended French, and Gym class today.
Look out for a trip letter coming home today.
Pleases remember that tomorrow is a PD Day for teachers.
There is no school for students.
