Humanities:
- City project: this week, students will learn more about the role of representatives, and developing a city name, locations of water sources, and major and minor roadways. Independent work will include journaling about their experience and thinking up new ideas.
- We have been doing agenda all week! Please ask your child for their agenda so you can read it. It will also include their marks for their recent visual journal assignment.
- Homework: complete City Journal #2
-
On a fresh page, title “City Journal #2”Think about what we are building for our city and answer these questions:1. Are you a citizen or a counselor? What does this mean to you as a member of your group/ward?2. What is your department? So what is your responsibility with regards to the city?3. What is your job? What implications does this have on the city?4. What is your stakeholder position? How does this affect how the city is designed and built? What would your stakeholder position need or want?
Math:
- Wow! Finding patterns in Input/Output tables is complex work, and you are getting it! Well done grade 6. We practiced creating, continuing, and solving input/ output tables. We expanded our learning to include 2 step input / output machines.
- Next week we will introduce creating and plotting ordered pairs on a graph. We will make and use the relationship pattern, the input pattern and the output pattern in an Input/output chart.
- HOMEWORK - We talked a lot about creating good habits and setting our notebook page up neatly. This includes always writing tidy titles that include the page number and date, using a ruler for all lines, using an eraser (NO scribbling over mistakes), space between questions and the question number in the margin beside the work.
- For any students who didn't finish them in class, please finish Pg 8-10 questions 3,4,5,6,7,8, 9. Try the reflection question for a challenge:
"Suppose you want to make an Input/Output machine to convert millimetres to metres. Describe what your machine would look like."
- If you need a hand, our 'Math Support' sessions continue twice a week. Monday at lunch in Mrs. Lowe's room during Lunch B M114(12:50 pm - 1:10 pm) and Thursday mornings in Mrs. MacDonald's room, M116 (8:00 am - 8:20 am).
Science:
- Students learned about the different types of fingerprints and took their own. We tallied the class prints by type and are graphing them next week to incorporate the math skill of collecting, recording and analyzing data.
- Students have some animal tracking work in their visual journals, feel free to finish these over the weekend or we will do them on Monday together. This is not required homework, but students were encouraged to look for and sketch or photograph animal prints in the snow around their homes or anywhere they can go for a winter walk. Can you infer what animal, what direction and how fast they were moving?
- Next week, we will also consolidate our learning about animal prints, tire tracks, footwear impressions, handwriting analysis and chromatography.
- We are creating new vocabulary cards for some of our new key concepts.
