Stand By or Stand Up

 

We began our day with the spelling bee. Well done to those who participated.

Once we returned to class we worked on math. Students worked on review work while I checked yesterday’s math homework. Students who did not complete the corrections in MMS 6 p. 154 -155 and the review work in MMS 7 p. 200 – 201 are asked to complete this for homework.

Next up was novel discussion time where we discussed Chapter 4 of Bridge to Terabithia as a class. Students also shared examples of what they thought may be hints of foreshadowing. The class was assigned to read Chapter 5 and answer the questions relating to Chapter 5. This is due tomorrow when we will have our next discussion time.

We continued work on our Digital Footprint inquiry unit. Today we discussed cyberbullying and bystanders. Students shared experiences they have had with cyberbullying and bullying. They reflected on how they could prevented the problem from progressing. As a class we read an interactive comic to learn about the consequences of cyberbullying. Students then wrote a quiz about cyberbullying.  Students are reminded to keep working on their ‘Two Kinds of Stupid’ project. This is due on Tuesday, May 22. Students will need parent supervision and support to find their internet article for this project. Students will search the internet with a parent for other stories about teens and adults losing opportunities because of content posted online. Students will be sharing the story they find with the class next week.

Students attended gym class today.

We ended the day working on our Arts’ Night performance. We practiced all of our skits today. Dancers continued to work on their routines. Students are to begin thinking of their costumes for this performance. Our performance will take place on Wednesday, May 30^th at 1:30 pm and 7 pm.
