We continued learning
about integers in math today. Students used a number line to model subtraction
of integers. Students completed practice integer work on pages 194 – 195 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. Today I listened to each group’s oral
presentation. Each group received feedback on what needs to be done to improve
their work. They used the remainder of the day to work on improving their
presentations. Based on what they presented today, a number of groups are
required to come in to school tomorrow to get caught up. The groups are animal
agriculture, discrimination in sports, substance abuse. Saturday school will
run from 9 am to 12 noon tomorrow. Students may leave earlier if they finish up
their work earlier.
One of our SJA Grade 7
students visited our class today and gave a mini workshop on how to use green
screen with iMovie. One of the groups managed to use the green screen to record
their French video today. Groups that are coming in tomorrow should bring all
props and costumes needed to shoot the video. It will be quiet in the building
and a good time to do this component.
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.
Students should be working on spelling
bee practice in preparation for the contests that will take place soon.
We need about 20 lamps (about 40 – 60 watt screw
type) for our black light show. Please send these in if you have any. We
have the bulbs but not the lamps stands.
