Day 6 – 4 School Days until Exhibition


 
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.
