This week, as always, will be a busy one. We have our Grade 6 Camp Trip to Ki-Wa-Y on Tuesday and the Remembrance Day Assembly on Friday.
For our trip on Tuesday, it is very important the students come dressed for the weather. It is going to be a bit chlly, but sunny, so layers will be important. Also, winter boots will help keep them warm and dry throughout the day. Students need to bring a litterless lunch and a resuable waterbottle. It will be a memorable day for everyone! In the classroom we will be busy working on a variety of learning goals. In Math, we will continue exploring the collection and organization of data. Students will be learning what makes a question good for a questionaire and how to collect data to answer a specific question or wonder. In Writing, we will continue to work on our rant writing. Students have chosen an endangered animal and are creating a "rant" from the perspective of their animal. Learning to include some persuasive techniques, voice and point of view along the way. In Reading, we will be looking at summarizing using the "Somebody... wanted... but... so... then..." template. This helps students remember that a summary is the gist of the story, not a retell. In Science, students will continue their research on a biodiversity issue. They need to know thier 5Ws of their chosen issue, how it is affecting biodiversity, the different organisms that are being impacted, the impact (both positive and negative) that humans are having on the issue and finally come up with an action plan to address the issue. This project will culminate in a Biodiversity Convention where students will have an oppertunity to share their issue with the school and parents. More details about this even to follow.
