Many forms will be coming home this week and need to be completed, signed, and returned as soon as possible. Today we brought home digital citizenship forms. If they are not returned, we will not be allowed to use technology at school this year. Our class is divided between room 14 and 15 in the afternoons for social studies and science, so make sure to check their blogs for updates on that part of the day.
Morning recap:
This morning we had music first thing, as we will every Tuesday and Wednesday. Mr. Wiens is teaching music again this year. When we got back to class, we created name tags for the border of our first documentation of learning board. You'll be able to check it out at meet the teacher on September 19.
During language arts, we completed our first Edmonton spelling test of the year. This 50 question spelling test gives an approximate grade level spelling ability. We talked about how there is no expectation that anyone in grade 6 would spell all 50 words correctly but that it was important to show care for learning by following test taking protocol and trying our best. We peer marked the tests when we were done. It turns out some of us are much better at spelling than we are at marking, so Ms. Winston double checked them after school and we can find out our accurate scores tomorrow if we want.
Since we are still getting to know each other and we had been sitting for a while, we played some line up games. For example, we lined up based on what month we were born and based on how many pets we have. We timed ourselves to see how quickly we could complete the various challenges. The record was 40 seconds. We talked about digital citizenship and what it needs to look like this year before heading to gym. Our regular gym time will be 10:30 - 11:00 with Ms. Wallace's class, so we started that routine today with a game of dodgeball.
Grade six classes were invited to visit the library this morning (before library officially begins for the whole school) we ended the morning with a trip to the library. Some of us brought our books home and some left them to read at school.
Upcoming important dates:
Thursday, September 19 - Meet the teacher (evening - watch for details)
