We are writing a quiz on chapters 1-6 of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe on Tuesday. Our next computation / basic facts quiz is on Wednesday. The K/4/5/6 winter concert is Thursday evening. Doors open at 6:00 and the concert begins at 6:30. The 1/2/3 concert is the same time on Wednesday evening.

Morning recap:
This morning was a busy one! We started off with the pillars of care assembly. After helping take down the assembly, we went upstairs to write our science test. When we were done, we headed to room 20 and did our week in review, worked on any unfinished work, and played fractions, multiplication, or division math games. In language arts we continued reading LWW. Today we took a little break from reading and listened to a recording of chapter 7 and the first few pages of chapter 8. We ended the morning at gym with all the grade sixes.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Upcoming important dates:

Tuesday, December 3 - LWW chapter 1-6 quiz

The pillars of care assembly is tomorrow. All grade six classes will be writing a science unit test on trees and forests tomorrow. We are going to write a quiz on chapters 1-6 of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe next Tuesday. Our next computation / basic facts quiz is next week, probably on Wednesday. The Reading... Give It a Shot program is still going on so make sure to return reading logs in exchange for hockey cards.

Morning recap:
This morning after ignite, we did 3 question mini-quiz on fractions before grabbing a laptop for Mathletics. During buddies, we listened to a story called Chrysanthemum. It is about a girl named Chrysanthemum who loves her name until kids at school start teasing her about being named after a flower and having so many letters in her name. Then a new teacher shares that she also has a long name and is named after a flower and Chrysanthemum realizes her name is great after all. After the story, we worked with our buddies to create a page of fractions about each of our names. Here is an example.

When we got back to class, we did some discussions questions for chapters 5 and 6 of LWW and then ended the morning with gym and library.

Morning recap:
This morning after music, we did a reading comprehension assessment. We did one last month and this one looked very similar. We read a text about trees and forests and then answered questions about it. The answers to some of the questions could be found in the text but others required us to make connections to previous learning. When we finished the reading assessment, we wrote in our journals about yesterday's field trip. During math, we had some time to finish our equivalent fractions booklets. If they did not get done, the last page came home for homework and is due by Friday. We took a break to go to gym and then continued with math. We took notes on the types of fractions (proper, improper, and mixed) and learned the steps for converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions. We did a few practice questions as a class today and will keep working on this skill for the next little while.

This morning after music, we did read to self. In language arts, we did a November writing sample and wrote a story based on the following picture.

Some of us realized that the photo was from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe but we were allowed to write any story we wanted. After handing in our writing, we got ready to leave for the theatre. We were respectful during the field trip and the play was amazing. It was a great day!

Morning recap:
This morning after ignite, we did our second Edmonton spelling test of the year. These 50 word tests give us an approximate grade level for spelling, but we talked today about how I also look at our class spelling tests and daily writing to determine how we are doing at spelling overall. To start math, we did a number talk. Today's was a bit different. Our previous number talks have all had one correct solution. Today's number talk was 1/3 = ? We shared many possible answers and talked about how we knew they equaled 1/3. Next we did a quick review of equivalent fractions, including talking about how to make equivalent mixed numbers, before continuing to work on the booklet we started last week. If we finished our booklet we played a game called fraction snap. Players take turns flipping fraction cards over. Whoever's fraction is larger gets to keep both cards. If the fractions are equivalent, players flip new cards and the player with the larger fraction keeps the cards from both rounds. Once all cards have been flipped, the player with the most cards is the winner. During gym, e continued with our basketball unit. When we got back to class, we grabbed copies of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and finished reading chapter 5 and 6 before lunch.

This morning after ignite, we did a 3 question mini quiz on equivalent fractions and then did Mathletics on the laptops. We saw our buddies today since there is no school tomorrow. Today's buddy activities focused on November's pillar of the month: kindness. We did a picture sorting activity of kind and unkind actions, wrote or drew ways we can show kindness in the classroom, and completed a maze filled with quotes about kindness. When we got back to our classroom, we started reading chapter 5 of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe before gym. In the half hour between gym and lunch, we did our week in review, flagged work we want to share with you at conferences, and cleaned up our classroom. 

Hoping to see most of you tonight or tomorrow at conferences!

This morning after music, we were back to our regular schedule now that swimming is over. We did finish up or read to self or someone and then talked about fractions in math. Today we reviewed fraction vocabulary (numerator, denominator, improper fraction, etc.) and talked about equivalent fractions. We began working through a booklet to find and create equivalent fractions using numbers and pictures. During library, we visited the book fair to look around. If we had money with us, we were allowed to make purchases. In gym, we started basketball. When we got back to class, we talked more about the zones of regulation in health. Today we focused on what it looks and feels like to be in the green and blue zones. We also brainstormed strategies that can help us move from the blue zone to the green zone. They included getting a drink, going for a walk, eating a snack, and doing jumping jacks. We recorded our ideas on the fortune tellers we started a couple weeks ago.

This morning after music, we had a bit of time to catch up on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe work before starting fractions in math. Today we jut did a pre-test to show what we remembered about fractions from last year. This will allow us to see what we need to focus on in this unit. If we finished early, we helped put papers in our math and LA folders. We headed to the pool for our last day of swimming lessons and then came back and continued doing LWW work or organizing our folders for the few minutes before lunch.

If our questions were not complete for chapter 1 or 2, we signed out a copy of the book and have brought it home with the questions for homework. They need to be returned on Monday, as we will be moving on with reading and will need all the books back in class. After LA, we were on the laptops, either finishing typing up our Iris learning goals or doing Mathletics. Our buddies came up to see us so that we could help them type up their learning goals now that we are experts. We also had a few minutes to play online math or literacy games with our buddies once the goals were complete. We ended the morning with a quick classroom cleanup and then headed down to gym with all the grade sixes.

You may have heard that swimming lessons were cut short today. The pool staff let us know that there was contamination in the water. They got students out of the pool as soon as they noticed, and students were all told to shower with soap. There is no cause for concern. Students returned to school about 10 minutes earlier than normal and carried on with the morning as usual.

Our overall class average went up 13% from the last quiz, which is great, but we still have lots of room for improvement so keep on practicing. Quizzes were sent home today for you to sign and return. When we were done the math quiz, we finished reading chapter 2 of our novel study and got a brief start on the chapter questions before swimming. When we got back from swimming, we had just enough time for a quick library book exchange.

Morning recap:
This morning after music, we spent some time writing our learning goals for this year. Each year, students develop goals in language arts, math, and a third subject area (usually health/wellness, but sometimes music or physical education). This year students were asked to develop goals that align with our school development plan, so the areas of focus are reading comprehension, numeracy, and pro-social behaviour (getting along with others by developing self-regulation and conflict resolution skills). Students selected goals and strategies and began typing them into their Iris learning plans today. When they are finished, you can have students log onto Iris at home so you can see their goals, and you will also see them as they guide our discussion at student involved learning conferences on November 21 and 22. Once we put the laptops away, we headed down to the bus for our first day of swimming lessons. We were quite loud but otherwise did a great job representing BHS and being respectful at the pool. When we got back to school, we spent the few minutes before lunch finishing up planning our goals, doing the zones of regulation work we started on Friday in health or reading.

Morning recap:
This morning after writing our social studies unit test, we completed our week in review and then did read to self or read to someone. During math, we did some multiplication word problems using a graphic organizer to clearly show our work. Here is an example:

In health, we reviewed the zones of regulation. There are four zones: blue, green, yellow, and red. They correspond to different emotional states. If we're sad or tired, we're in the blue zone. Being in the green zone means we're feeling okay and are ready to learn. If we're worried, frustrated, or hyper, we're in the yellow zone. Being in the red zone means we're out of control, which usually means being angry or terrified. This year we will practice lots of strategies to help us move back to the green zone. Today we began making fortune tellers that will help us review the zones. We listed the emotions associated with each zone and wrote what it looks like to be in the green zone.

After a quick classroom cleanup, we headed down to the Remembrance Day assembly. We spent the last 15 minutes of the morning either doing finish up in Mr. Mueller's room or at gym.

Have a wonderful long weekend!

This morning after music, we did read to self. During math, we wrote a practice basic facts / computation quiz so that we could get some extra practice in and have something to study before next Tuesday's quiz. It was very similar to the one we wrote two weeks ago, but of course had slightly different numbers. If we have questions about any of the problems on the practice quiz, we will have opportunities to talk about them this week during math. In language arts, we worked on our poetry anthologies for the last time. They are now homework and are due on Friday. We took a break to go to gym, where we played dodgeball games. Ms. Winston had to leave for an appointment so Mr. Hebert spent the last half hour of the morning with us while we continued working on our poetry until lunch.

This morning after ignite, we did read to self. During math, we began with a number talk. We looked at the question 25 x 5 and talked about the different ways we could solve it in our heads (without having to write it out on paper). We noticed that there were many ways to arrive at the same answer. Then we continued working on our long division booklet and began a page of multi-digit multiplication and long division practice questions. This page is now homework and will be due on Friday. There is a must section that all students need to complete and a could section that is available for an extra challenge. If the long division booklet wasn't finished, it is now homework as well. If all work was complete, we played the division game we learned last week. In language arts, we worked on our poetry anthologies. These are due on Friday, and tomorrow will be our last class time to work on them. Poem checklists were handed out to us today so that we could see our progress and make a plan for what we have left to complete.
