We have a
short but busy week ahead of us. Grade 6s started the week by attending French
and Gym class.
In Math, we
completed our first lesson on the new math unit – Number Patterns. Students
learned how to use an Input/Output machine, recorded data in tables, used input/output
data in tables to decipher the numbers and operations in Input/Output machines,
and wrote pattern rules for output numbers. Students are asked to complete
practice work on p. 8 – 9 of the MMS textbook.
We got to
hear two learner profile presentations today. Sakshi spoke about what it means
to be caring, and Areej spoke about commitment. Thank you girls for your
explanations and suggestions on how we can grow in these areas.
During UOI
time, students heard that they were to create a poster to promote electrical
safety in the home using information that they recorded from Michael Neumann’s
presentation on Friday. The majority of the class wanted to work with a
partner. Some wanted to choose a partner while others wanted to be placed with
a partner. As a group, we looked at effective posters. The class created a list
of criteria that describe effective posters. Students then began working on
their posters.
In our next
bit of UOI time, we viewed 3 different YouTube clips of ways that the electric
cars can be built. Students worked on their first idea by drawing a thumbnail
sketch. They will be discussing their ideas with families tonight.
We ended the
day working on language. The class read samples of student fable and legend
writing. They used a T-chart to list areas of strengths and weaknesses. We will
use these ideas to create a checklist on how to write an effective
fable/legend.
