This is a reminder for parents that students are expected to have laptops for our final UOI and that time is almost upon us! We ask that students have laptops ready for May 7th. If this is a concern please email me.
UOI: Government
Students worked in their groups on their presentation slide shows and good copy of their flag today in class. The next step will be to write a 3 minute speech that their leader must present on election day. We will be looking at example speeches from people like Justin Trudeau for inspiration!
For our UOI summative presentations, parents are welcome to attend at 2pm on May 3rd. Actual presentations will begin at 2:20pm however parents are welcome to arrive at 2:00pm and take a look/ask questions at the display tables. After the presentations and voting, students are allowed to leave with their parents.
Language:
Today we worked on DRAs. Students will have one short lesson time dedicated towards completing their DRA. After this point they will either stay in for gym or need to be assessed at a lower level.
Math:
In class today we reviewed input output machines and how they show patterns. Students seemed to blast through the math sheet and so I assigned a few questions from the math textbook. I really liked hearing students recognize the different patterns they noticed in the graphs and in the columns of the table. Here is a video students can use a refresher for how to use input output machines.
At the end of the day students we had some surprise reading buddy time!
Notes:
A note about Spelling Bee:
The Spelling Bee is right around the corner! Students were sent home with an information sheet and their spelling list that will be used for the in class competition.
Grade 6 exhibition:
Dear Parents and Teachers of St. Jude's Academy,
We
(Rishaan, Jonathan, and Lucas) have an exhibition project on animal
agriculture. Have you ever thought about how much water it takes to make
one hamburger? Well, the answer is 660 gallons of water. That is equal
to showering for about two months straight! As part of our action we
have decided to encourage people to go meatless on Mondays during the
month of May. We are asking our St. Jude’s Family to join us and pledge
to go meatless on Mondays, and make a positive impact on things it
affects such as climate change! If you decide to help us by going
meatless on Mondays, then you could save 1100 gallons of water, 45
pounds of grain, 30 square feet of forested land, ten pounds of carbon
dioxide, and one animal’s life. We hope you decide to help us stop
animal agriculture, and go meatless on Mondays. If you decide to go
meatless on Mondays, kindly return the attached pledge form signed in
your child’s agenda before April 30, 2018!
Thank you
Lucas, Jonathan, and Rishaan
