Today we had
a guest teacher in our class. Ms. Samuel worked with the Grade 6s in all
subject areas. The first area was math where students worked to complete and
correct all math work for the Data Management Unit. Ms. Samuel and I met with
students to check their work and give feedback on ways to improve their
responses. Students who did not get done in class need to finish up to page 120
of the MMS 7 workbook for homework. The unit test will be written tomorrow.
Students who
finished up their math review began reading our new novel study Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt.
They had time read the Prologue all the way to Chapter 4 and begin work on the
responses. Those who did not complete this in class need to complete it for
homework.
Student-Led
Conferences take place tomorrow. Grade 6s spent some time preparing for this
event.
On Monday,
students pondered “Who was first to discover North America?” They then heard
the perspective of those who believe that the first peoples were created and
placed on this land. Today, students heard a scientific explanation that may
explain how first peoples came to North America. Ask your child to explain the
Beringia Land Theory to you.
We ended the
day preparing for our Christmas concert performance.
Grade 6s
attended French and gym class today.
