Narrative Writing


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.
