Interview Writing


We spent the first bit of in-class time by taking up Friday’s math homework. We then began working on report writing. Students were asked to reflect on their first attempt, the checklist we created, and our conference time before coming up with ideas for their final writing piece. Students had 1 hour of class time to complete the writing assignment when they returned from recess.

We had a short math period today due to the writing assessment. We have begun review work to prepare students for the unit test on Thursday. Grade 6s were challenged to complete and correct ¼ of the assessment before heading out for recess, They received feedback on how they could improve the quality of the answers they were giving. There are no practice problems assigned for today. Students should focus on any areas of weakness to be well prepared for the test.

We ended the day in the Multimedia Room. Students began presenting their projects on power generation. The class was an attentive audience and had the opportunity to ask questions of the presenters. We will continue with presentations tomorrow. Only students who have not yet presented should bring devices tomorrow.

Grade 6s attended Art and Gym class this morning.
