Today, we all learned it is important to accept people for being who they are. We do not judge people by the colour of their skin, how they look, what language they speak, what kind of food they eat, who they love, or their gender. WE ARE ALL EQUAL!
We are not giving you any criteria today. We would like you to simply write about what you think the 'BIG IDEA' is of the 'TO THIS DAY' video.
Remember, the big idea is the message the author wants you to take away.
Keep in mind, you will base the big idea of the video on your background knowledge and will draw on your personal connections when you provide support for your big idea.
If you share connections, please do not name anyone or single them out.
Please take the time to make this post meaningful and well written to show how important being kind is!

After practicing trapping and controlling, passing to a target and moving to an open space, students are ready for some soccer match situations.

In the afternoon we carried on with our second math unit of the year focussing on patterns which will lead us into basic algebra.

In career education, students learned the steps in goal setting using a SMART goal setting strategy. Students will use what they have learned to set personal fitness goals which they will work on for one month.

Today after completing our science observations students learned some note making strategies. They watched a video and practised using point form abbreviations, notes in their own words and focussing on the most important ideas. This is an important skill to master.

1.) CARREER EDUCATION:

Complete you fitness goal action plan. You may do the research part at school or on the weekend.

2.) MATH:

Gr 7 p25-27
Gr 6 p5-8

3.)WORD WORK:

Today a student found these notes, made by my grandmother, in a Harry Potter novel. We realized that this was evidence of my grandmother using many reading strategies to make meaning and deepen comprehension. We went through the reading strategies one at a time making connections between the notes and the strategies. Thank you grandma! You are a master teacher and learner!

New classmates have arrived!

Today we had several evaluations including last weeks spelling test and meaning test and a comprehension test from our class read aloud which we finished last Friday! We also competed out 3rd observation for our ecosystems. It was amazing to see all that had happened over the weekend. In one ecosystem, we found a bunch of eggs. Students researched to try to figure out what kind of eggs they were. We also saw that the roots of an onion will grow down toward the soil even if they are planted upside down. Amazing!
