Post-to-be-Private


Day 4

 We began our day with novel study time. Students met in their groups to discuss chapter 7 of Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. Once discussions were complete, students had some class time to begin reading chapter 8 and working the on the discussion questions.  Any incomplete work is due tomorrow (Friday).  

 In math we took up yesterday’s homework on sketching polygons. Students then began review work in preparation for the unit test. Students are asked to complete review questions 1 – 6 by tomorrow. Students attending the track and field event are asked to place their review work on my desk for marking before they leave for the trip. Students not attending track and field should bring their review package to school tomorrow as we will continue working on it in class. The math unit test will be written on Tuesday, May 30th.

Four students who were nominated by their groups got to present their ‘Two Kinds of Stupid’ story to the class.

During today’s inquiry into our digital footprint, we discussed what rules should be followed when adding ‘friends’ on social networking sites. The class created a list of risks and a set of guidelines when adding friends. They participated in an activity where they decided whether or not to add someone they don’t know in real life to their friends list. They later discovered the true profiles of the people they were considering. Ask your child what they learned about their digital footprint today. Students are now asked to write a persuasive letter to help a fictional friend realise the potential dangers of using social networking sites. The letters are due on Monday. Students not attending track and field tomorrow can work on their letter in class tomorrow. 

The Grade 6s attended French, music, and gym class today. 

Tomorrow, students attending the track and field meet at The Maples Academy should arrive at 7:45 am. The bus will be leaving the school at 8 am. They must bring any gear needed for track & field such as sweater, hat, sunblock, lunch, snacks, etc. Students are to 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. The food will be purchased from the vendors at BMO field. We should return to school between 10:45 to 11:00 pm. 

We still need one more parent volunteer for our Tree Top Trekking trip. This parent must be comfortable with participating in the activities. Please let me know if you are able to volunteer. 

Permission and waiver forms about our Tree Top Trekking trip are due this Friday, May 26th.
