Day 6 – Hockey Jersey Day


 
15 School Days until Exhibition

Our day began with our Hockey Jersey Assembly to honour the Humboldt Broncos team.
 

We began our academic day with math. Today students worked on review work to help prepare for Monday’s unit test. Students that did not get done in class are asked to complete and correct all review questions in today’s package. These must be returned tomorrow.

We continued working on exhibition for the remainder of the day. Our focus for exhibition is still securing the primary source site visit and/or interview. The Child Neglect group had their final interview today with Summer who works with children on First Nations reserves. The Substance Abuse group conducted an interview with Jim MacTaggart from Sheridan College. The Mental Health group was out on a site visit and conducted their interview at the same time for most of the day today. The Invasive Species group is still waiting on confirmation for one of their interviews. Their other interview has been postponed to tomorrow. Another priority remains the action ideas and planning, and to keep researching to answer all concept questions and address all lines of inquiry.

Students worked hard on completing the writing of the first draft of the essay. These are due tomorrow. Students did not get to go out for second recess if they had not completed this draft.

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

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

Spring fundraiser order forms are past due. Late orders will be accepted first thing tomorrow.

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
