The Grade 6s
went on their golfing trip today. I was sad not to be able to be golfing with
them. They all said they had a good time and wished they could golf for the
rest of the day.
During our
inquiry time, students worked on completing Friday’s lesson on how energy is
transformed into electrical energy at generating stations. They created flow
charts to represent the energy transformations and then reflected on what was
the same at all generating stations. One of the challenges the class
experienced today and Friday was working cooperatively as a group. Some groups
were better at working together and other groups needed many reminders to stay
on task. Some groups used recess time to get to a certain point in the work
before they were allowed to leave. As a
result the work we had planned to complete in class on Friday and today was not
done by the time planned. Our goal is to work quicker, by staying on task
throughout and by working cooperatively with the whole group. Devices with Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets
are needed for tomorrow’s electricity lesson.
Grade 6s
attended music class today.
Students should
be working on their IB Learner Profile poster and be ready to present these on
their scheduled date. Nicole will be presenting on tomorrow.
