Students spent the bulk of today’s class time working on
Exhibition, specifically, finishing up their central ideas and lines of
inquiry. They made new meeting times with their mentors, and many groups were
out of class attending these meetings. Today’s challenge was to come up with an
action plan. Students have been asked to steer clear of fundraising for their
action. They are asked to think of their issue and then ask “So what? What can
I do to make a difference? What can I do to bring about change?” Groups have
come up with many interesting ideas for their action. Now they need to think of
planning needed to make their action/s a reality.
We used today’s gym time to finish up our math lesson on
improper fractions and mixed numbers. The Grade 6s represented mixed numbers
and improper fractions using manipulatives and pictures. They learned how to
convert a mixed number to an improper fraction and an improper fraction to a
mixed number. We made excellent progress on today’s practice work. Remaining
problems on p. 293 of the MMS textbook book are to be completed as homework.
We had a class discussion about the French component of
Exhibition. The class has come up with an interesting idea of how to incorporate
French into their presentation. They pitched their idea to Mme. Villeneuve
today.
