See you tomorrow!

Shakespeare's Alive!

Congratulations to 6F1 for three excellent presentations of 12th Night!

Well done!

Silly Gross-out Day!

6F1 was grossed out today by...
*watching a gross movie about garbage and poop

 * learning about gross things in nature, like stinky animals

 *sampling disgusting jelly beans

*reading gross-out jokes

*answering gross Would You Rather scenarios

*completing some gross fun pages

*getting a gross smelly sticker

(The class was decorated with gross photos: bugs, mummies, spiders...)

What a gross-tastic day!

Zero the Hero Day!

6F1 celebrated Zero the Hero Day by...

*Reading Zero the Hero!

* Playing Memory by matching up positive and negative integers to make zero pairs

 *Drawing zeros by using a compass to make it perfect

 *Trying out the zero drawing challenge

*Eating zero-shaped snacks!

What a zero-riffic day!

Paper Airplane Challenge!

Students were challenged to make a paper airplane using a single sheet of paper.
They then participated in a tournament-style competition to find the top airplane of the day.

Reading Celebration!

We celebrated all the books we read this year!

(Each student wrote down the number of books they read this school year.)

Roots of Empathy!

This morning was our LAST visit with Baby Casey for Roots of Empathy!
It's been so neat to see his development throughout the year:  he was walking today!
We gave Casey and his mom a book full of thank you letters and a book of photos documenting his year of visits with us.

Poetry!

Students assembled the poems they created this year into a Poetry Anthology.
What fun we had reading over our year in poetry!

Homework Alert!

Math Projects are due Monday!

Homework Alert!

CFOO presentations are tomorrow!

From the Math Department...

Students are working on a math project involving perimeter and area.
They have ten different tasks to accomplish, each one glued onto graph paper so the drawings can be exact.
After three periods of class time, it is now homework and due Monday, June 13th.

Material needed!

For an end-of-the-year science project, 

each student will need an empty 2L bottle. 

Friday Fun!

Thanks to the Party Committee for a FUN party this afternoon!

All the world's a stage!

In English Language Arts, 6F1 has been exploring William Shakespeare's comedic play Twelfth Night!
First we read the storybook version to become familiar with the complicated plot and the many, many characters. 
Next we read through the script of our adaptation of Twelfth Night.
On Tuesday, June 7th, students will audition by reading a passage from the script. 
Parts will then be assigned, and play rehearsals will begin! 
We hope to be able to present our play to other classes at the end of the month.

CFOO!

Our last edition of CFOO will be Thursday, June 9th.
Students are reminded to choose a presentation they have not yet completed and carefully follow all expectations!

Prime Minister Projects!

What fantastic presentations today! A job well done students!
We learned lots of interesting information about the different Canadian prime ministers!
