General:
No School - Friday, May 17th (PD Day).
No School - Monday, May 20th (Holiday).
Humanities:
This week students will continue to work on their Athens/Iroquois inquiry project and their government Novel Study. We will spend an afternoon this week creating rubrics and reviewing expectations for each of these projects. The due date for the novel study will be June 6th and the inquiry project will be due June 11th.
Students have their ELA part A PAT on Wednesday morning. They must make sure that their laptops are completely charged on this day. We will review the short story and news article structure on Tuesday.
Students will also reflect on their final term by answering the final questions:
1. What assignment/activity were you most proud of this term, and why?
2. In what ways have your work habits impacted your learning this term?
3. What goal do you want to take with you into grade 7?
Math/Science:
In Math we will continue to work on Patterns and Relations. We spend a little time on isolating variables and preservation of equality. In addition we will analyze some graphs in order to improve our skill in drawing out the relevant information and discovers patters and relationships between the data. There will be a short Math quiz on Thursday to check the understanding of these concepts. Last weeks quiz was corrected and reviewed as a class. Feel free to look over it with your child. In Learning Strategies we will be reviewing the use of positive and negative integers.
In Science students are making instructional videos on certain principles within Air & Aerodynamics. These videos will hopefully be posted to the 6.3/6.4 You Tube account before the end of the week to be shared with their classmates.
