Holiday Homework

Just Kidding!  No homework for you! 

Thank You Grade 6!  We are absolutely blown away by your kindness and generosity toward each other and your crazy teachers. We are so, so, so lucky to have such thoughtful students and families.

Over the holiday, please take time to rest, reflect and celebrate!

See you in the new year...

Week of December 9-13, 2019

Humanities:

• City project: this week, students will learn more about the different services in a city and the different levels of government that they provide.
• Independent work will include journaling about their experience and completing the services handout (see below).
• Students have been working hard to meet their goal of: 5 minutes to get started on a task and to stop socializing. We want to achieve this 4 days in a row, and sustain the work time through the period or to the next task. Both classes have met this goal! The maintenance piece is at least 2 days in a row. This goal was created as with the holidays approaching and student stamina waning, we needed a challenge! The students have requested a pre-holiday celebration to acknowledge their achievements. More info to come...

  

Math:

• On Monday we will do a quick review of out Input Output tables and pattern rules, then have a short quiz to show what we know.  A review sheet was made available and many students have taken it home to practice.  If it didn't make it home, or for extra practice, try visiting the Spyguys video http://wpatterns in tables
• Students will make and use the relationship pattern, the input pattern and the output pattern in an Input/output chart, then learn to create and plot ordered pairs on a graph.  
• We will learn to sort regular and irregular polygons and begin our work with triangles and angles.  Try looking for some angles in the world around you.
• 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).
