14 School Days until Exhibition


 
We began our day with math. Today students worked on a practice test to help prepare for Monday’s unit test. Students that did not get done in class are asked to complete and correct all questions in today’s practice test. The practice test and the review package are coming home today.

We continued working on exhibition for the remainder of the day. The Invasive Species group conducted an interview with an environmental lawyer. All groups have now conducted at least one interview. Another priority remains the action ideas and planning, and to keep researching to answer all concept questions and address all lines of inquiry.

The Mental Health group worked on completing the writing of the first draft of their essay as they were out on a trip yesterday. All essay first drafts were submitted by today’s deadline. Students did not get to go to gym until this was completed.

Students that submitted their essay first draft worked on other components, such as their French component, their action component, their ICT component, and their art component.

The class had French at the end of the day. M. Fouad helped them as they worked on their French component.

Graduation picture orders are due April 16. Sibling picture orders are due April 18.

Students are asked to bring a baby and current photo of themselves for Arts’ Night by April 20th. We will try our best to get these back to you after Arts’ Night.

Students are reminded to return their Cedar Glen trip permission forms and their immunization forms.

Dear Parents & Mentors,

Please help us by providing revision suggestions for the essay. We are NOT correcting conventions (spelling, grammar, punctuation) at this stage. Please provide suggestions on how the group can improve the content of the essay, i.e. the facts, information, examples. What are ways they can further answer their concept questions? How can they further address their central idea and lines of inquiry. Please write your suggestion in INK directly on this copy. We have skipped lines to allow space for revision suggestions.

Thank you for your time,

The Grade 6 Class
