In math this week students worked on solving problems that involved data management. Students learned how to create and interpret graphs. Students also learned how to find the mean, median and mode of a set of data. Patterning tests went home on Tuesday to be signed and returned.
In language we began a new unit on poetry. Students learned the "rules" of poetry, which are that there are really no rules! Students wrote a poem about those "rules." We also co-created success criteria for poetry and read and presented some Remembrance day poems, using choral reading. Students finished their literature circles this week and presented their projects to each other, in a celebration of learning and reading. I was very impressed with their creativity!
In social studies the grade fives signed up to present their rant. They also began a new unit in science, on the human body. The grade sixes joined Mr. Siefert to learn about Canada's Interactions within the Global Community and will also move onto science.
In phys. ed. we continued our unit on volleyball, and practised forearm passes, serves and spikes.
Finally, students continued to prepare for their student- lead interview by reflecting on their strengths, needs and strategies for improvement.
