Day 5 – Nets and Isometric Diagrams


 
Yesterday we had a guest teacher in our class. Ms. Walls worked with the Grade 6s in all subject areas. The first area was math where students wrote their Data Management Unit test. They also completed their preassessment for our new measurement unit. Today we began the measurement unit. This unit involves 3-D geometric shapes. To start the unit we learned about nets and isometric diagrams. Students who did not complete the practice work in class are to complete p. 40 – 43 of the MMS 6 practice book for homework.

Students had a whole class discussion on the Prologue to Chapter 4 of Tuck Everlasting yesterday. Today we discussed Chapters 5 & 6 as a class. Students have been assigned to complete Chapters 7 & 8 and the responses for homework. This work is due on Monday.

Yesterday students learned how the natural resources in British Columbia impacted the way of life for one of Canada’s first peoples – the Haida. Today, students learned that they will be creating an art piece in the style of the Haida. They will research a local Haida artist and their work to discover the meaning of the symbols, animals, and colours. Students will need their devices on Monday.

Finally, at the end of the day we had our Grand Prix. Well done to Wael for winning the Speedy Award, Jarniko the Arrow Award, and Lucas the Good Looker Award.

Look out for a trip form coming home today.

We spent some time preparing for our Christmas concert performance.
