HOLES Novel Study

We have started a Novel Study in English Language Arts with Holes, by Louis Sachar

Students have a copy of the novel, a duotang with the accompanying work and a notebook to complete their work.

For each block of chapters, students must do:

*Word Work
(Choose five words from the vocabulary list. For each word, give the sentence containing the word from the novel with a page reference, and then, show the word in another way: a definition, an illustration, a sentence, synonyms & antonyms, rhyming words, or by giving clues)
*Comprehension Work
(Invent two multiple choice questions)
*Reading Response Work
(Answer two comprehension / opinion questions, using lots of detail to explain your answer)
*In-Class Discussions and Activities
(Come to class ready to discuss the chapters and participate in different activities related to the novel)

Science

In Science, students are learning how to classify using a dichotomous key.

We've classified people, shoes, modes of transportations, and today: buttons!

Multiples in Common

In math, we're working on finding the Least Common Multiple between numbers. (In French, it's the ppcm: plus petit commun multiple)
For this assignment, students had to find all the common multiples between two or three numbers. Each number is represented by a different colour or design.

Can you find the Least Common Multiple?

Fingerprint Poems

Students created autobiographical poems in the shape of fingerprints.
Each poem is full of interesting and unique facts about the poet! Beautiful work!

Multiples

In Math, we're learning about multiples. To practice, students played the Monster Multiple game.

RESPECT

As a class, we discussed how we could show RESPECT towards ourselves, towards others and towards property. All the ideas were collected onto this poster and signed by each student. It is now posted in the classroom to show our commitment to RESPECT!

GG BBQ

See you tonight at the Golden Gate BBQ, from 4:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.!

International Dot Day

International Dot Day is a day to celebrate creativity, courage and collaboration!

Inspired by The Dot, by Peter H. Reynolds, students created collaborative dots.

"Just make a mark and see where it takes you."

Party Committees

Each student will have the chance to be part of a 6F1 Party Committee this year. As a committee, students will meet together to decide the activities, the decorations and the food for their party.

The dates of the parties:

Friday, October 31st

Friday, December 19th

Friday, February 13th

Friday, March 27th

Friday, June 26th

Heads-up: Parent Information

Students went home today with a purple package of papers with information about 6F1.
Parents are asked to complete and return the last page.
Thank You!

Homework Alert!

Students:

Remember your math title page (filled with numbers that are important in your life) is due Monday!

Rights and Responsibilities

In Social Studies we discussed how each right comes with a responsibility. For example, if you want to be respected, then you have to show respect to others. Each student wrote down their opinion to the following two questions: which right is the most important? and which responsibility is the hardest to accomplish?

Team Challenge

Working together, using a washer and four pieces of string, students had to manoeuvre a yellow ball from the door of the classroom to a cup by Mme's desk. Teamwork and ingenuity made it happen!

We Are All Smart!

After completing a Multiple Intelligences survey, students discovered the different ways they are smart and represented the information in a graph. Students, what was your strongest intelligence?

Tangram Challenge

Working in groups, students had to cover a shape with all seven Tangram pieces. Frustration ensued!
