In math this week students continued to work on solving problems that involved data management. Students learned how to create and interpret graphs. Students also learned how to create appropriate scales for graphs, based on the data.
In language we continued with our unit on poetry. Students read and created poems related to the theme of bullying. Students also read and created poems with the topic of an abstract noun. Some students shared their work in author's chair. Finally, we had a spoken word poetry workshop with poet Tanya Neumeyer. Students learned what spoken word poetry is and worked on creating their own work.
In social studies the grade fives began to present their rants. They also continued to research a human body system in science. The grade sixes joined Mr. Siefert to learn about Canada's Interactions within the Global Community and will also move onto science, learning about biodiversity.
In phys. ed. we continued our unit on volleyball, and all the volleyball skills. Finally, students finished preparing for their student- lead interview and began to lead their interviews. I've been so impressed with the interviews that students have lead so far!
