Home Learning – aka Homework
This week, students (and their parents) could access Agency Centers in order to provide a chance for students to exercise their agency and to ensure that all students would not miss out on any learning due to a meeting with a mentor. As one important way to better connect school with home, please talk with your child(ren) about their project, their meeting with a mentor, the inquiry process and so on.
Transdisciplinary Learning
Language/ Reading/ Writing/ UOI – Exhibition Summary
This week, students were working hard to complete their inquiry work on their exhibition projects. This included working to complete all of their research, collecting evidence of their learning, completing their essays and putting their Exhibition journals in order. Next week, though another short week with field trips and overnight camp, students will work on collating their information and designing their information display as well as practising their presentation for the week after when they host their public display of knowledge, their exhibition. We look forward to this on the 20th and 21st of February. For this you are all warmly invited to attend the afternoon session of the grade 6 Exhibition in the Mazoon from 5:00 – 6:30 PM on the evening of the 20th of February. We look forward to seeing you all there. Please see a copy of our schedule here for your information.
Numeracy Summary
This week, students worked on developing their understanding of the Lowest common multiples and greatest common factors as well as working on practising their basic facts to consolidate this information.
