Tree Diagrams

We began our day with an Arts Night rehearsal. Remember that the Arts Night performance takes place at 7 pm tomorrow night. Students are asked to arrive at 6:45 pm in their costumes.
Next up was math. We used tree diagrams to solve probability problems where there are many possible outcomes. Grade 6s students needed much support with these problems. A number of students completed all practice problems in class. Students who did not get done are asked to complete the remaining problems on p. 418 & 419 of the MMS textbook for homework. Students will be writing a unit test on probability on Monday, June 8.
Our novel study time is a time that Grade 6s are enjoying very much. We discussed chapter 9 of Number the Stars. Students then had class time to read chapter 10 and complete the discussion questions independently.
The class headed back to the gym for another Arts Night rehearsal.
At the end of the day, students were introduced to the final project for our inquiry unit on religions. Students will be writing a children’s book on a belief system of their choice. Grade 6s have already chosen the belief system they would like to write about. Students should bring devices to school for the remainder of the week for research purposes.
Students attended French and Gym class today.
