We still
have some IB Portfolios missing today. Please return these as they are long
overdue.
Today’s
class time was used to work on exhibition. I began conferencing with groups
regarding their second drafts. We completed 3 ½ conferences today. These groups
have again received feedback from me on how to improve their writing. Some have
received the go-ahead to begin typing their paragraphs. Others have been asked
to make additional revisions and rewrite the paragraph by hand. Everyone has
revising work that needs to be done on their paragraphs whether typed or
written by hand. A weakness for all groups is in-text citations. Groups are
encouraged to talk to Ms. Hayward if they need help doing this. The second
draft must be hand written on lined paper and lines must be skipped to allow
for feedback and editing marks. The second draft of the essay is due on
Thursday, April 11th. Please remember that all work needs to be
completed in class.
Students who
completed the second draft of the essay worked on other components such as
their interview questions, math component or French component. Yesterday we
discussed having a Phys. Ed. or health component. Some students began
brainstorming ideas for this.
The spelling
bee took place today. Well done to all the brave students who participated.
Congratulations to Suravi for placing third in the Grade 6 bee.
French time
was shortened because of the spelling bee. Students worked on their exhibition
French component. Mme. Stella was available to help students with this
component.
Today’s math
time was used to write the unit test.
Spring
fundraising payments for the trip can still be made.
Remember to
send in money for the Wizard of Oz
costumes. The flying monkey payment is due this Friday.
