During math
today, we reviewed multiples, common multiples, and lowest common multiples, factors,
common factors, and greatest common factors. Students who did not complete this
work in class are asked to p. 6 – 10 of the MMS 7 Practice and Homework Book.
Next we work
on DRAs. There were a number of students who still had the oral components of
the DRAs to complete. Once these were done, the class worked on the written
component of the DRA that tests their comprehension of the text. This part
takes a long time to complete and a number of students used their first recess
and gym time to finish up their work. I am happy to say we have completed our
Term 1 DRAs. There were many tired and sore hands to prove this true. Well done,
Grade 6s!
During our inquiry
time, we reviewed our energy transformation lesson from yesterday. The class
had many, many questions about energy, including how we store chemical energy
in our bodies to be used when needed. We did not have enough time to complete
the worksheet as a result. Students are asked to complete this at home. We
began our new lesson, which was about building circuits with different
components. The class had a lot of fun with this activity. I hope to post some
pictures soon.

their scheduled date. Hersh will be presenting on Monday.
