Tree Diagrams and Connections

Day 1

 Grade 6s began their day with math. We took up Thursday’s homework on probability and percents. Today’s lesson was about using tree diagrams to solve probability problems. We did a number of problems as a class to ensure everyone understood how to complete this work. Students are asked to complete the practice problems on p. 418 – 419 of the MMS textbook.

Students met in their groups to discuss the final chapter of Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. Students then began their summative task for their novel study. They are making connections between the book and our UOI. They are identifying 3 characters from the book whose personal, social, relational, or physical health was at risk. They worked to identify the risk, relate it to the Real World Safety Pledge, describe how the character was affected, and what the character could have done to reduce the risk.

We had a few Arts’ Night rehearsals today. Some students remembered their costumes. Everyone is reminded to bring their costumes (including a blazer and tie) for a dress rehearsal tomorrow. Arts Night takes place on Wednesday, June 7^th, at 1 pm (dress rehearsal) and 7 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 for the evening performance. We will also be selling treats and baked goods, so get ready for what is sure to be a wonderful evening. 

 

Grade 6s worked on their DRA reading engagement survey for Term 3.

During UOI time, students worked with the partners on their summative tasks. These are due on Friday, June 9^th. Students need their devices daily as well as any materials they plan to use for their presentations.
