Final Project


Our day began with Tuck Everlasting. We began by taking up discussion questions about chapters 10 and 11. Everyone then worked independently to read chapters 12, 13, and 14. Students completed study guide pages 43 - 50 in class.  In order to ensure we complete the book before March Break, students are being assigned novel study reading and discussion questions for homework this weekend. Please read chapters 15, 16, and 17 and complete the discussion questions for these chapters.

Everyone then worked their math review package. The challenge was to complete all corrections. Some used recess time to accomplish this. Completed and corrected review packages are coming home today. The unit test will be written on Monday, February 29.

The primary and junior sections of the Inter-school speech competition against The Maples Academy takes place on Tuesday, March 1. It will begin at 9:30 am. All are Welcome!

Grade 6s attended gym class with Mr. Slyk.

We then worked on our UOI. Students read about Canada’s involvement with international organizations. They learned about their final and exciting project for this unit – creating an RSA Animate about an international organization that Canada is involved with. We looked at professional and student samples of RSA animates as well as one that I made.
We discussed the process of making an RSA Animate and examined the rubric so students understand what they need to do to achieve a level 4. The class is excited about this work! Students used the rest of the day to find a partner they have not worked with before, select an organization to research, and research the organization. They recorded their notes in an organizer.
Students that needed to wrote the map work retest.

Below is a message from the MYP team:

Good day and good morrow fair lords and ladies;

The MYP beseeches you to attend their amendable performance of Billy the Bard’s Merchant of Venice, colloquially retitled The Merchant of Manhattan. In fair New York we lay our scene; 6 suitors strive to win the hand of the divine socialite: Portia. One suitor, Bassanio, is willing to risk all his good friend and cousin Antonio has (including a pound of his noble flesh) to win this lady’s hand. Will such a gamble and risk pay off, or will Bassanio wind up wifeless, friendless and ultimately alone? To discover the answer to these harrowing questions, join us on Tuesday March 1st. To buy passage into the production we respectfully request a small donation of two gold coins (or a toonie) to help fund the Arts program. We will also be holding a bake sale to provide some delectable delights and light refreshments while you watch. These festivities shall commence at 6:00pm. For now I shall retire, but I do anticipate your presence. God keep you!
