This week in the 6D class:
This week, the 6D students spent time concluding our unit of inquiry on “How the World Works”. Students were able to research and comment on landform animation videos made by other Grade 6 students. We also spent time reflecting on the skills, attitudes and actions developed over the course of the unit.
In literacy, students started to form investigation groups to look into different grammar and writing skills. They will be working on creating a tutorial/lesson to teach their classmates on their given skill.
For math, we continued to learn about algebra and solving simple equations. Students from our class also participated in the World Math Day Challenge from Mathletics.
