Day 4
Grade 6s
began their day attending music with Mr. Andrei.
Once back in
our room, they joyfully discovered that there was no math lesson today. We are
behind on our Canada’s Exports video project and we would lose our UOI time to
the Remembrance Day assembly today. Instead of math, students used this time to
work on their videos. There was a lot less frustration and much more success
today. Three groups have now completed the project. Today is the last day that
class time will be allocated to this project. Recess time will have to be used
going forwards to get the work done. Students that have uploaded their video to
YouTube should email me the link at mhaag@stjudesacademy.com. Devices will
still be needed tomorrow.
We used
first recess time to work on our electric car science fair project. We now have
3 students who have completed the entire project, including the completion of
their engineering design portfolio. Well done! We have just over two weeks to
go till the science fair day on November 24th. Parents, please
remember that you are welcome to attend the afternoon session of the fair to
see what all the students have been working so hard on in class.
Grade 6s
attended French and gym class today.
We had novel
study time after second recess. Students discussed chapter 9 in their
literature circle groups. Everyone was assigned a new role and received class
time to read some of chapter 10. We will have novel study time again on Thursday.
Everyone should complete their chapter 10 reading and response for homework if
they did not get done in class.
Students
chose the poem they would like to enter in the Polar Expressions Poetry
Competition and finalised their entry forms. The poems are ready to be mailed
tomorrow.
We ended the day attending a Remembrance Day Assembly. The
school was an audience to a presentation by Ms. Hocevar’s Grade 4s. They then
wrote a letter of appreciation to a soldier.
Look out for pictures coming home today. We have a good
looking group of students in grade 6s, as you will see. Scholastic order forms
are also coming home today. Picture retakes take place on November 17th.
