Day 3
We began our day with math, where
we continued our measurement unit. We
took up yesterday’s homework on surface area of triangular prisms. Today’s new
lesson was about sketching polygons. We did a couple of practice problems as
class. Students are asked to complete the practice work on pages 372 of the MMS
textbook. The math unit test will be written on Tuesday, May 30th if
all goes according to plan.
During today’s inquiry into our
digital footprint, we discussed how tricky it can be to know if a person you
have met online is a friend or a fake. Students were introduced to the
expression ‘raising a red flag’. We discussed this expression and students know
it is when a situation makes you feel uncomfortable and may indicate something
dangerous could happen. Students were asked to pay attention when they
experience this feeling. We watched a video called ‘Friend
or Fake’. We had a class discussion
about the things the on-line friend said that raised a ‘Red Flag’.
Students were presented with
scenarios. They decided if the scenarios raise a red flag or not.
The class is asked to record what
an on-line friend may say, and what an on-line predator may say on the sheet
they were provided. They also need to write an email offering advice to a
friend on how to spot an online fake. These are to completed for homework.
At the end of the day, students
presented their ‘Two Kinds of Stupid’ story to their groups. The groups
conducted a peer assessment on the presenters. The following students have been
nominated by their groups to present to the whole class tomorrow: Arya, Farah,
and Leah.
We continued working on our novel
study today. Students met in their groups to discuss chapter 6 of Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine
Paterson. Once discussions were complete, students had some class time to begin
reading chapter 7 and working the on the discussion questions. Any incomplete work is due tomorrow (Thursday).
The Grade 6s attended French and
gym class today.
On Friday, students attending the
track and field meet at The Maples Academy should come to school dressed in
their gym uniforms. They should bring casual clothes with them to change into
for our trip to the TFC game. Students who are not attending the track and
field meet should come to school dressed in their casual clothes. Everyone will
be receiving a $10 voucher to purchase food that evening. It is recommended
that students bring extra cash with them.
We still need one more parent
volunteer for our Tree Top Trekking trip. This parent must be comfortable with
participating in the activities.
Permission and waiver forms about
our Tree Top Trekking trip are due this Friday, May 26th.
Our annual Art's Night is only
two weeks away!! Please join us on Wednesday, June 7 at 7:00 PM. You may also
