Exhibition: Essay Revised Draft


Day 2

We continued working on our Fractions, Percents, Ratios, and Rates math unit. We took up yesterday’s homework and then did a lesson on estimating and finding a percent. We explored various methods of doing this as a class before students began the practice work on their own. Students are asked to complete practice questions on p. 318 – 319 of the MMS textbook.

The rest of class time was spent working on exhibition. Today’s goal was to write the revised draft of the essay by using feedback received to improve the information presented in the essay. Students are now asked to again have two adults read and provide feedback on their work. This is due tomorrow. Students need their devices and Gmail account as they will begin typing up their essay’s tomorrow.

Students attended French class where they began working on their French component for exhibition.

Grade 6s attended gym today.

Look out for a letter about a squash trip coming home today.

Oakwood Academy is hosting a Cultural Market on Thursday April 6th from 10:30-12:00, and 1:30-2:30. The market will open up to SJA in the Cafeteria. Oakwood will be selling homemade toys, jewellery, gifts for parents, food, and baked goods. This is a fundraiser for Oakwood Academy to help fund classroom resources and sensory materials. Your participation is greatly appreciated. 

 

SJA’s first Talent Show will take place this Friday, April 7th, with a variety of performances from SJA/Oakwood students in JK-Grade 6!
