Today was a great day!! We had so much fun playing board games and interacting with our classmates. Ms. Wade came back to visit us for the day. She helped Mrs. Thompson and the students finish their Christmas ornaments (which turned out so beautiful, thank you to Jack for the great idea). This afternoon we watched the student vs teacher volleyball game (the teachers won).

We made sure our lockers and desks were cleaned and organized so that we are all set for a great start to 2018 when we return after the break.

Work over the break:
1. Be kind to others
2. Help others, this season is about giving.
3. Please have a fresh independent reading book ready for January 8th (a book the student has never read before).

Wishing you a very happy and blessed Christmas with family.
See you in the New Year!

A fourth method of multiplying multi-digit numbers

6T has been working on multiplying multi-digits for the past four math classes. We have tried to use traditional multiplication methods, a place value/pull it apart method, as well as an array method. Here is a fourth method that is just as effective as those already taught in class, in case any student is struggling using the ones we have already explored. The Grade 6 curriculum expectation is to be able to multiply four digit by two digit whole numbers.

Science - Monday, September 18, 2017

There are four sections to this video. We will be taking notes and sketching drawings in a foldable throughout each section. The four sections are: solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, why the moon is seen during the day and the phases of the moon. 

Friday, September 15, 2017

Math - we worked on the whiteboards and smartboard today practising writing pattern rules and, given the pattern rule, writing our patterns. Then we practised our work with a few questions on a sheet - DUE MONDAY. We also participated in flashlight Friday (see pictures below). 

Literacy - Today we independently responded on sticky notes to the question: What makes Terry Fox a Canadian hero? Next, we put our thoughts together with two to three other students and created a "best" answer together, using all of our responses. 

Art - we continued to work on our portfolio covers. Students are needing many reminders to check over their criteria before and during work on their art. 

Have a great weekend!!

Our first flashlight Friday. Students could bring a mini-flashlight, a headlamp or a finger light to do their extended independent reading today. It was great. We are aiming to have all of the classroom lights off next week for a different reading experience. 

Thursday, September 15, 2017

Literacy - we continued with our types of nouns. Students need to find five of each type of noun for TOMORROW.

Science - we completed our mind map for this unit. We will start vocabulary tomorrow.

Health - we worked on the good copy of our learning skills goal for first term, we will work on our academic goal tomorrow. They will come home for your viewing soon.

Math - We discussed different types of nouns and wrote a note with examples, as well as the two different ways we are asked for pattern rules... practise work to come tomorrow.
We also logged into our Math Prodigy accounts and will be using that for further patterning practise.

Today we had Mass and we sat with our JK/SK buddies. Our Grade 6 students showed a lot of patience, compassion and leadership with our buddies, I am super proud of how kind and thoughtful they were with our little buddies.

In Literacy, we finished a note on different types of nouns, then we began to look for at least five examples of each type of noun.

In Math, we wrote our our learning goals for Unit #1 (DUE TOMORROW, see below post) and looked at an in class independent question each student competed yesterday.

We also worked on our art project (portfolio cover). Students were reminded numerous times to check over their criteria (in their duotang) before and during the process of completing their art.

Jobs this week:

Boards and brushes - Mercedez
Absent student forms - Emilie
Messenger - Kaitlynn
Blog - Chace
Homework board - Sarah

Today:
Literacy - we worked on some predictions for the title of a text (Terry Fox Canadian Hero). We also worked on definitions for ten words that will be in the text. Definitions due tomorrow.

Science - we brainstormed what we already know about space and started a Mind Map which covers what we will be learning about Space (mind map will be completed tomorrow).

Math - we explored the different types of patterns that we are already familiar with, and the students came up with some amazing examples. Next, we worked on our first learning goal for this unit by representing geometric patterns numerically. Seven multiple choice questions answered for tomorrow.

Family Life - we had a good discussion about everlasting love and that sometimes it is hard to love others, but we can spread God's goodness in many ways throughout the world.

If your child has a guitar that they are bringing in for music, it must be in tomorrow.

Student Registration Verification forms were sent home today. Please complete and send back by October 6th.

Happy Friday, wishing you a wonderful and rest-filled long weekend!

Math - today most students completed the Ready, Set, Go! challenge. If it has not been completed, it is due Monday. We also completed our addition error analysis and four groups presented the strategies they came up with in order for the student to prevent making this error again.

Literacy - Students handed in their quizzes today and Mrs. T. will take each quiz over the weekend! Students will mark them on Monday.
      - All students need to have an independent reading book at school by Monday (many already have theirs at school). 

Guidance - We have been becoming experts on one of the learning skills that is assessed each term and reported on. Students will be using their expertise to create a meme next week. Look forward to those being posted after completion.
      - Today we looked at the SMART goal acronym and discussed half of it... we will complete this next week. All students must have their assessment sheet completed for Monday - it required them to, upon completion of their learning skills survey, to identify one area they want to improve in and do some evaluation of that specific learning area in writing (there are four required responses to this evaluation - due Monday).

Visual Art - Today we finished our colour wheel sheets and began our first big art project - the line and colour name art (also know as their portfolio covers). There is a blog post below about this project and each student received a rubric, checklist and step by step instructions. 

:) Mrs. Thompson

Beginning next week a student will be responsible for blog posts. It will be a new student each week. I will add any necessary information to our daily blog posts. 

September Events

Update your agenda by writing ALL of these events either on the monthly calendar OR the date. 

13th - Mass at 9:45am

15th - Flashlight Friday (Independent Reading - bring a headlamp, mini handheld flashlight or a finger flashlight to read your book).

21st - Meet the Team social 8:20-8:50
22nd - P.A. Day
27th - Terry Fox walk 9:20

Line and colour art assignment

Students begin their line and colour art assignment, which will function as their portfolio cover, on Friday, September 8, 2017. Their assignment criteria, student checklist and rubric were handed out and explained.

Step #1: fold your paper horizontally once, and vertically twice to form eight equal rectangular sections.

Step #2: Using contour lines (outlines) draw your name across the middle of the paper, making your letters large enough to easily be seen. 

Step #3: Inside of your letters, using ONLY PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COLOURS, use a variety of lines to fill in your letters. 

Step #4: Outside of your letters, in each of the eight sections, use ONLY TERTIARY colours to fill in each section with a different type or combination of lines. 

This does not follow the same colour criteria that you are expected to follow, but it is a model to show different line ideas, as well as how awesome it will look when you are done!!

Thursday, September 7, 2017

Being sent home today is a letter informing parents of the topics involved in Theme #1 of Family Life, which we will be starting next week. 

Students finished two editing stages for their quiz and worked on their good copies. The good copies, written out in their Literacy Resource book are due tomorrow. 

Today we read the book, "The Most Magnificent Thing" and discussed further how someone might feel through the creative process while having a growth mindset (excited, challenged, frustrated, energetic, mad, proud). We also realized that it takes determination and perseverance to succeed in a task which results in something magnificent. 

Each student took a learning skills self-assessment survey today. While examining their results, they chose one specific area that they want to improve. For Monday they have to:
1. Identify the area in which they need to improve.
2. Describe why you feel you need to improve in this area.
3. Describe what you hope will be the result of improving in this area. 
4. Explain how you plan to improve in this area. 

For math, students worked on a math challenge called "Ready Set GO!" During this challenge they have to complete a series of math calculations (ideally without a calculator), in sequence to arrive at a final total. They worked on this for 16 minutes today, and will finish this tomorrow. Two students completed the task today with the correct answers. 

In visual art, we continued to work on colour theory through the colour wheel. Students reviewed concepts from previous years (warm and cool colours, primary and secondary colours) and learned about tertiary colours (new in Gr. 6). 

Students also logged into our Math Prodigy classroom. We will be using this to practise math skills in a fun and exciting way.

Today we discussed the difference between a GROWTH MINDSET and a FIXED MINDSET. The following two links will lead you to the videos we watched in class which demonstrate these different ways of thinking. Please watch them and continue the conversation with your child at home.

As a class we produced a list of "what we need to be successful this year." This list was derived from individual lists the students made on the first day of school, which was revised today, then further refined through collaboration with other students and examining the similar items on students' lists. 

We continued to work on our multiple choice quizzes today. A self-edit will take place in consultation with Mrs. T. once the draft is complete. Good copies are to be done after this consultation and revisions take place. DUE TOMORROW: ROUGH DRAFT

In visual art, students reviewed the elements of art and then worked specifically with colour and line today. They are using line and colour to create their portfolio covers that will house their art work this year. 

In math today we worked on an activity with a partner where students were given an addition calculation and the pair of students had to figure out what error was made in the calculation and explain the error, rework the question and share a strategy the student could use the prevent this error in the future. 

** See the post below for duotang/binder organization for this year.

The first day of Grade Six was great!

We worked on routines and recognizing what we each need to be successful this year.
Students took a quiz about Mrs. Thompson (congratulations to Mercedez who scored the highest score!!).
Today we also looked at our learning skills areas and are working collaboratively in groups of 4 or 5 to become experts in one learning skill.

Today the following items were sent home:
1. A newsletter from Mrs. Thompson.
2. A "Introducing My Child" form for parents to complete and return.
3. A lunch/walking field trip form for parents to complete and return. 
4. A newsletter from the office (orange in colour).

Also, students were asked to have appropriate gym clothing and shoes by Monday (stick deodorant is a good idea as well).
Finally, each student needs to have an independent reading book (something they have NOT read before) at their level ready for Monday. If they do not have one at home, they are welcome to choose one from Mrs. Thompson's class library prior to Monday.

Looking forward to Day #2!!
Mrs. Thompson
