This week the students will be writing practice PAT's each day. Today we began by writing a full math PAT. It can be shocking how much we cover in one year and it is super important to be practicing concepts that do not make sense or give difficulty.
Next we wrote the LA practice PAT that is all about reading comprehension.
Some students were able to finish and moved onto the social PAT.
Tomorrow we will be starting with another LA PAT then moving into a social PAT.
The students can write these PAT practice tests as many times as they would like at home.
Simply search "QuestAplus" and write the practice exams!
Make sure you are getting lots of sleep and eating well over the next few weeks!
Happy body=Happy mind!

After the assembly the students returned to the room for their Ancient Athens quiz. I will be sending the test home Monday to help the students study for the upcoming PAT exam.
Once the exam was completed students went down to Friday music, buddies and gym!
Fantastic day overall! Enjoy your weekend everyone! Make sure you get your work done :)

Next week we will be starting our grade 6 mock PAT exam writing. Each day the students will be writing a minimum of 3 PAT exams to prep for our upcoming tests.
Today the students began their day by practicing measuring angles within triangles and then writing a quiz to measure their understanding. The class average for the quiz was...73%!
After the quiz the students went to science where they continued their exploration of evidence and exploration. The students visited a website that helped them to break down the physical, circumstantial and testimonial evidence from a crime scene.
In the afternoon the students began to explore the Treaty of Great Peace! We learned about how the French and First Nations formed a treaty that generated peace for over 60 years!
We finished off the day by doing a kahoot as a class and working on social projects which are due tomorrow!

Today the students began their day with a trip to music. Students are working on self reflection and goals for their music careers.
After music we continued the measurement of triangles using a protractor. Students will need to be able to measure the angles within a triangle and classify the triangle.
After Math the students moved into learning about the Iroquois. Today we learned about the roles of men, clan mothers, women, and their longhouses.
In the afternoon students started their new unit and began to learn about evidence and investigation. Students have begun to learn the different kinds of fingerprints and that all fingerprints are different!
Tomorrow the students will be having a presentation to decide on a legacy gift for the school!

Today the students began their by practicing their skills with identifying different kinds of triangles.
Below are the examples of all the triangles we have to identify.
The triangles can be identified both by angle and length of sides. The names get combined, such as: Acute Scalene!
Tomorrow we will be measuring these triangles with a protractor!
After math the students moved into social learning about the Iroquois Confederacy!
Below are two great videos discussing the concepts we learned today!

Thank you to all the students parents and teache rs that attended the Spring Concert last night! My favorite part was definitely the Star Wars theme!
The students wrote their sky science unit test today. The test was /30 and was entirely made out of PAT questions. Students have already graded their tests and know their marks. Test will be sent home Monday.
After science, students were given several mathletics assignments to complete on angles.
Once they were done the students had some time to work on their social projects. These projects are due next Friday and I expect all students to work on the project over the weekend.
We finished off our day with buddies with the Kindergartens and Gym!
Have a safe, fun and hard working weekend!

Today the students began their day with an extended visit to music. They are diligently prepping for the concert on Thursday.
After music the students wrote their second last basic facts test for this year! The class average was... 77%! A great mark!
In the middle block of the day the students had a rehearsal with the students from the SJAM band and Jazz band. What an amazing opportunity for the young musicians to see what is coming in the next few years.
In the afternoon our class was introduced to their new social project. This project involves showing what they know through a Travel Guide to Ancient Athens! This project is designed to have students get ready for grade 7 by completing a project on their own time. I have given the students everything they need to be successful in this project. It is up to them to put it into a typed brochure/travel guide or hand write/draw the project.
Below is the task and rubric for the assignment as well as some links to help out with the research.
Students finished off their day with a visit to Mr Mueller to begin science presentations. These presentations were due today...but if yours is not finished then you need to make sure it is done before it is your turn to present.
Have a great evening!

Today the students began their day with their area, volume, perimeter quiz. This unit along with several units in grade 6 requires a good understanding of basic facts. That is why it is so important for students to push themselves to master those basic facts each day!
After math, the students went to science to work on their last hour of science projects before their due date Monday! Use the 5 days on the long weekend to get everything done!
In the afternoon the students finished their social booklets on ancient Athens before heading off to an assembly.
As many of us are well aware there have been far too many incidents in grade 6 this year. Students getting in fights, being rude, and saying nasty comments has been at an all time high. This theme has been happening across all grades. Mr Hebert called an assembly to discuss the importance of good behavior and to inform the students that they will be doing a weekly discussion/exploration of positive behaviors. As a school we can turn these behaviors around.
Hope to see everyone at parent teacher conferences tomorrow!
