Poetry!

In English Language Arts, students wrote a free form poem about themselves in the shape of a fingerprint. What beautiful identity poetry!

Science Project!

It's time for our first Science Design Process!

Here's a quick rundown of what students have to do:
-Invent a planet with at least 16 aliens
-Design a dichotomous key to classify all of the aliens
-Name and describe each final category on the dichotomous key, giving examples.

**The representation of the planet and aliens can take any number of forms: a poster, a drawing, a collage, a diorama, etc.
**The final project must also include the dichotomous key and the category descriptions, written, of course, in beautiful French.

Students have had class time to get started. The balance of the project will be completed at home.

Students have a rough copy (please see below), including all of the details of the project and a rubric showing how the final project will be marked. This rough copy must be handed in along with the final project.

The final project will be due October 12th.

Rules of the Classroom Library!

As a class, we came up with six rules for our classroom library.

Students have signed their page to show that they are ready to follow the rules. Parents are also asked to sign.
Once students have handed in their signed page, they may continue to borrow books from the Classroom Library.
Happy Reading!

French Reading!

Students have been reading independently and with partners during Francais time. Soon we'll add reading with Mme and start rotating through the three types of reading.

Collaborative Art!

Each student created a square of art:

We then assembled it together to create a classroom piece of artwork!

R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

Since the first day of school, we have been discussing ways we could show respect in the classroom: respecting others, respecting ourselves and respecting property. We then combined our ideas into a handy-dandy poster, which we all signed and pledged to follow throughout the year. It's now hanging on our wall as a constant reminder of our respectful classroom community.

Event Alert!

Early Dismissal tomorrow at 3:10 p.m.

Rights & Responsibilities

In Social Studies, we discussed how rights and responsibilities go hand in hand.
For example, if you have the right to be respected, then you have the responsibility to show respect to others.

From the Math Department...

This morning, we learned about multiples and practiced by playing the Monster Multiple Game.

Multiple Intelligences

In English Language Arts, we are learning about Multiple Intelligences.
First, we completed a survey to see where our strengths lie.

Next, we created a graph to show our smarts.

Then, we discussed how each student is smart in different ways and how we each have a different balance of smarts.

We are definitely ALL SMART in this class!

Homework Alert!

On Wednesday, students should be prepared to tell the class about their name! 

Remember students: it could be how you got your name, what your name means, or who you are named for. You could talk about your first name, your middle name or your last name. 

First Day of School!

6F2 had a GREAT first day of school, getting to know Mme McKenzie, getting to know each other, getting to know their way around the school and getting to know their lockers!

For homework this weekend, students should rest up for five full days of learning next week!
