Day 4
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.
