This week we are wrapping up a few things before the student teachers arrive and before Mrs. Erichuk and I switch math groups back again. For math we are working on area and perimeter. I am giving an introduction to the human body (the next science topic) and the student teachers are taking it away with a couple of weeks of activities. Then I will wrap it up before moving on to our final unit (diversity of life). We are also finishing up 'Petey' (our novel study) and will hopefully be done as the student teachers arrive. We will be working on some creative writing exercises to strengthen the fundamental ideas we have been working on.
Please check back to last week's post regarding a few key points. 1) grade 6 hoodies 2) bringing music devices to school 3) upcoming 'egg drop'. In addition, this Wednesday is an early closure.
We are still on 'outside gym' on Mondays so this Monday we will be exploring the use of frisbees (let's hope the wind is non-existent!). For our actual gym time on Thursday, we will be starting a unit on badminton.
