Probabilities as Percents

Day 9

 Grade 6s began their day with French and gym class.

We had a few practice runs for Arts Night during the day. Once on stage we discovered that some of our moves were messy. We used second recess to neaten up our performance. Please talk to your child about their costume. We will need these on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next week. Arts Night takes place on Wednesday, June 7^th, at 1 pm (dress rehearsal) and 7 pm.

Students met in their groups to discuss chapter 12 of Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. Once discussions were complete, students had some class time to reading chapter 13 and work on the discussion questions.  Any incomplete work is due on Monday.

In math we took up yesterday’s homework on probability. Today’s lesson was about probability and percents. Students wrote probabilities as words, fractions, decimals, and percents. Students are asked to complete the practice problems on p. 414 – 415 of the MMS textbook.

During UOI time, students worked with the partners on their summative tasks. These are due on Friday, June 9^th.

Our tree top trekking trip takes place tomorrow. There are a few forms that are still outstanding. A number of students are returning their tree top trekking forms as there are parts that need to be completed. Please return these as soon as possible. Permission and waiver forms for Tree Top Trekking trip are past due. Students should come to school dressed in their gym uniform. Remember hoodies if it’s cool tomorrow. Bring lunch, snacks, drinks, hats, sunblock, etc.

Our annual Art's Night is less than one week away!! Please join us on Wednesday, June 7 at 7:00 PM. You may also join us at our dress rehearsal which begins at 1:00 PM. Our theme this year is Music through the Eras! You are in for a fantastic night of art, dance, and song! We are asking that students be at the school 6:30 pm to get ready. We will also be selling treats and baked goods, so get ready for what is sure to be a wonderful evening.
