Day 2 – The Cubic Metre


 
Today, in math, we reviewed linear, square, and cubic units. We also reviewed linear conversions before learning how to do square and cubic conversions. Finally, Grade 6s compared the size of a 1 cm cube to a 1000 cm cube and to a 1 000 000 cm cube to gain an understanding how big 1 m3 is. Students are asked to complete p. 90 – 91 of the MMS 6 practice book for homework.

In today’s novel study on Tuck Everlasting, we discussed Chapters 11 & 12 as a class. Students have been assigned to complete Chapters 13, 14, & 15 and the responses on p. 39 – 43. This work is due tomorrow.

For our inquiry unit, Where we are in place and time, students continued working on their first line of inquiry ‘First Peoples and their interaction with the environment’ through the lens of causation. They worked on recording their research in jot note form in their graphic organiser. Today was the final day that students will have class time to complete their research. Any research that is still not complete needs to be completed for homework. They will need their devices all week. Students will need access to their own POWTOON account tomorrow.

Parents are reminded to make the Freshbooks payment for our trip to Crawford Lake before the end of the day today.

We spent some time preparing for our Christmas concert performance. Our costume for the concert is: a Santa hat, long pants, boots, 4 small bells to attach to boots, colourful beach toys/towels, colourful summer t-shirt/short-sleeved shirt.
 

Grade 6s attended French and gym class today.

Look out for letters about coding and skating after-school activities coming home today.
