Day 10
Grade 6s
began their day with French and gym class.
Once in our
room we continued working through the math review. I checked all questions that
were completed during class time and for homework yesterday. Students used
class time to correct and/or complete any remaining questions. The unit test
for Transformational Geometry will be written on Tuesday, February 21st.
Students
practiced reciting their speech to a buddy during speech time today. Anyone
that had their speech memorised received 1000 house points. Well done to those
who received points. Keep practicing your speech over the weekend. Remember all
the suggestions you received on ways to improve your performance. Practice in
front of your family over the weekend and get more suggestions for improvement.
During
inquiry time we continued learning about the Age of Exploration. We reviewed
the work we did yesterday and students have a better understanding of places
and concepts. We continued learning
about new advances and ideas that led to the Age of Exploration and reasons why
Europeans tried to find another sea route to Asia. Students learned about Henry
the Navigator, Bartholomew Diaz, and Vasco Da Gama, and Christopher Columbus.
Ask your child to tell you what theses explorers accomplished. The unit test for explorers will be written on
Friday, February 24th. We ended our inquiry time by beginning work
on a Viking art project. Students began their project with oil pastels.
Students
attended music class with Mr. Oliver. I saw a video of their drumming. It
looked like they were having a lot of fun.
I have
received most PowToon projects now. I am still waiting for a few projects.
Please send them as soon as possible as they are now past due.
A few
students have not yet returned their City
of Ember books. Please do this as soon as possible.
We will have
novel study on Tuesday. Please remember your novels and Duo-Tangs.
Mme. Stella’s
French projects are due on Tuesday.
