We continued learning
about integers in math today. Students used tiles to model subtraction of
integers. Students completed practice integer work on pages 192 – 193 in their
MMS 7 books. The integers unit test will take place next week, on Wednesday,
May 2nd.
We continued working on
exhibition for the remainder of the day. Students were asked to have Ms.
Hayward check their MLA formatting and complete their essay edits. Final copies
of essays are due tomorrow.
Students then worked on
remaining components. M. Fouad says four groups need more time to practice
their French pronunciation before we begin shooting videos. We brought out the
green screen today and students had some fun experimenting with green screen
apps. Students are asked to download a green screen video app of their liking
to be ready to shoot their videos.
Mr. Oliver joined the
class for music time. The class had a rehearsal of their Black Light Show. They
need to finalise their props and select music for this component.
Students worked on their
slideshow and oral component. The goal was that the first draft be complete by
end of day today. As no groups were done, the class did not get gym time or
second recess. Instead they used this time to work on these components.
Students will practice their presentations tomorrow. At that time they will
receive feedback on how to improve their work.
Grade 6 students are
required to bring items for the refreshment table for both morning and evening
sessions. For now everyone is asked to bring in one package of NUT & PEANUT
FREE cookies and 2 packages (8 in a package) of juice. Students are asked to
start bringing in these items now.
Students will also be asked to bring in fruit/cheese/water/crackers.
More information about these items will follow later.
Each group should keep
working on their ‘Items Needed’ list
where they record all items needed for exhibition day, such as full
uniform pieces, French component costumes & props, BLS costumes &
props, items for art display, items for visual display, etc.
There is a lot of work
that needs to be done this week. If students are behind in meeting deadlines,
they will be asked to come in on Saturday to get caught up with their work. More
information will follow as we determine progress tomorrow.
Students should be working on spelling
bee practice in preparation for the contests that will take place soon.

Hi Mrs. Haag,
ReplyDeleteIf the students need to come in on Saturday, what time would you like them to be there and how long are they permitted to stay and work in their groups?
Thank you,
Mrs. Singleton-Bassaragh
'Saturday school' will begin at 9 am and end at 12 noon. Students may leave before 12 noon if they have completed their work. We will meet in the cafeteria. Filming will take place in Room 8 for groups needing to work on their French component.
