Day 4 – Slideshow Practices

 

We continued working on recursive number patterns in math today. These can be complex at times. Students should work through the steps carefully. It helps to work on paper instead of working mentally when dealing with bigger numbers. We quickly discussion patterns in division. Students are familiar with many of these divisibility rules already. Students should complete MMS 6 p. 5 – 7 for homework if they did not get done in class. The unit test will take place on Monday, October 23^rd.

We continued working on our City of Ember novel study. Students met in their literature circle groups and discussed the sixth chapter using their assigned roles. Once discussions were completed, students were assigned a new literature circle role for the seventh chapter. Students used class time to read Chapter 7. While they read they worked on their role response and also worked on completing their graphic organiser. Students who did not complete this in class are to complete it for homework. We will have literature circle discussions again tomorrow.  It is important that each group member complete the reading and their response for the daily group discussions.

During our inquiry time, students practiced their slideshow presentations with their partners. Presentations take place on Thursday. Devices are needed tomorrow for the last practice run.

At the end of the day we continued working on our science fair project. Students worked on building their car prototypes.

Grade 6s attended French and gym class today.
