Day 10
Grade 6s began
their day in French class with Mme. Stella.
In Math, we
took up yesterday’s homework. We learned what a recursive pattern is. Students
are asked to bear this in mind as they complete today’s practice work, which is
like finding the pattern in the pattern. Students are asked to complete
practice work on p. 12 of the MMS textbook. Parents, ask your child to explain
what a recursive pattern is.
Our first
segment of UOI time was used to work on our science fair projects. We watched a
couple more YouTube clips. The class then worked on their second thumbnail
sketch, before heading out to recess.
The class
had music with Mr. Andrei.
We got to
hear two learner profile presentations today. Melia spoke about what it means
to be curious, and Akash spoke about being a communicator. Thank you, you two.
Students then worked with their partner on their electrical safety posters. The goal for today was to complete the pencil draft of the poster.

We ended the
day working on UOI. Students are asked to consider the environmental impact of
different types of energy production. They have chosen an energy source they
are interested in. They have been paired with a student that has similar
interests. They will be researching this energy source to be able to explain
how it works, its environmental impact in terms of pros and cons. They will be
using what they find to create a slideshow where they describe their findings
and whether they recommend this energy source.
