Day 5
Grade 6s
began their day attending French class.
Once in our
class, they were introduced this term’s Ontario Writing Assessment task. They
worked to write a fable/legend that explains how an animal got one of its special
or unique features. Some students spent all class time given and more to finish
their stories. We will be learning more about narrative writing in the coming
weeks.
I managed to
mark everybody’s math review package. We also used our math class time to go
over the complete package. Packages are coming home today to help students
prepare further for tomorrow’s unit test. Good luck with your studying, Grade
6s!
During UOI
time we took up the graphs that students created about generating stations on
Friday and yesterday. Students chose a generating station close to us to
research further. They worked with a partner or group to do this work. Students
will be submitting this work tomorrow.
It was
Eghosa’s turn to present his learner profile attitude today. He described what
it means to have empathy. As usual, the presentation was followed by a class discussion
with students asking questions and sharing their understandings of empathy.
Thank you, Eghosa!
Students also
attended Gym class today.
Look out for
a letter from the parent guild coming home today.
Tomorrow is
Casual Day.
