Blog for Thursday January 21st, 2016
Homework-
Math- Study for tomorrow's perimeter quiz. The quiz is on linear measurement and also includes converting units of measurement. Students have been given thorough study packages to go over tonight.
Literacy- A reminder to all students that word work and blogs are to be handed in on the day where you restart your cycle. In other words. If you have word work on day 2 one week, you will give me your word week the following day 2 and begin a new package.
EQAO- Using the problem solving model to help help organize your reading responses.
In order to understand math problems we often use the problem solving model to determine what we need to know and to make a plan to solve our problems. In literacy, we often don't think of using this model as way to think through what is being asked of us. The problem solving model can be used to assist you in creating a plan to answer reading comprehension questions in a concise and effective way.
Example question:
Explain why fly-fishing can be a fun and affordable activity. use details from the text to support your answer.
1) Understand the plan-
a) I need to say why fishing is both fun AND affordable
b) I need to refer back to the text to support my answer
c) I need to explain how I know that the text I refer to helps prove that fly-fishing is both fun and affordable
2) Make a Plan
a) I will explain how I know that fly-fishing is both fun and affordable. If I don't remember what affordable means, I will look up the word in a dictionary.
b) Because I only have 5 lines to explain myself, I will try and find a maximum of 2 pieces of evidence that help me best explain why fly-fishing is both fun and affordable.
c) I will refer back to the text that supports my answer.
d) I will explain why this text helps support my answer.
3) Carry out the Plan
I know that fly fishing can be both fun and affordable because you can catch fish and spend time with your family, without having to buy expensive equipment such as a fancy boat. In paragraph 5, the narrator says that there is ...."plenty of fishing to be found for anglers who don't own a boat", and that simply "wading along the river bank is the most efficient and effective way to catch a fish. It would be fun to catch a lot of fish and cheaper to not need to pay thousands of dollars for a boat making fly fishing both fun and affordable.
4) Look back at the solution
You can use this section make sure that you actually carried out your entire plan and answered all parts of the question.

Literature Circles are beginning!
The books have finally arrived and Book Club is ready to start! Starting this Friday, students will be receiving their novel that they chose prior to the break for their book club. Students will be given weekly comprehension packages to accompany their novels. These packages are set up in a very similar fashion to those of "Watson's go to Birmingham". The format of responses will be familiar to all students. Each package will include a connections, inferring, literal comprehension and reflection/reasoning section. These book clubs will be offered in addition to the guided reading we have been doing in class. This means there will be lots of reading going on (very exciting!)!
In addition to comprehension packages, students will complete a discussion component every week (except week one). Students will get together to discuss their novels and the amazing things they read and discovered that week.
The book club is expected to take at least 6 weeks to complete and will help me guide large group lessons and future guided reading focuses.
The schedule for book clubs will typically look like this-
Friday- Assign Chapters, begin to read
Monday- Mini lesson of the week. The lesson focus will be the focus of work students do for group discussions.
Tuesday- Read and complete work for group discussion
Wednesday- Comprehension packages are started
Thursday- Packages are completed and work for discussion group is completed
Friday- Group discussion and start next block of chapters.
Weeks for Book Club are being started on Friday's to maximize the amount of days you have to read your chapters. It is expected that students read their books, both at school and at home.

Literacy/Drama Cyberbullying Activity Instructions
The Impact of Bullying- Drama/Literacy assignment
Today we continued to explore bullying and its impact on bullies, victims and bystanders.
In our previous lesson we watched a deeply moving video that dramatizes a realistic situation involving a student (Trey) being cyberbullied. The video asked students to critically think about what happened to Trey and about what people (including the victim himself) could have done to not let the situation get to the dire points that it did.
Students created tableau's that represented who had the most amount of power (the bully, victim or bystanders) when certain steps were and weren't taken. For example, if the bystanders acted and told a responsible adult about the situation earlier, then the bystander is taking the power away from the bully and putting the power into the victim and bystander's hands.
Today I asked students to complete the following statements, with the way Trey felt in the video. For example, the words "I am" were written on a handout and students may have responded with the emotion that Trey felt the most. One student responded with "I am alone".
Tonight I am asking for students to complete one- half of the "Voice in the Head" Script template.
Students will decide to either represent the inner voice or public voice of either: a) Trey; b) the bully, c) a bystander.
The public voice represents what a person would say and how they would act when faced with bullying in public.
The inner voice represents what they are really thinking and how they really feel.
For example, Trey may say:
"I don't care that people are laughing at me" and act like bystanders laughing at him on the bus doesn't hurt him. This is his public voice.
Yet, on the inside, his inner voice may say, "Why are people being so mean? Why aren't people standing up for me?"
Students are to choose a role and complete either the inner or outer voice for that role. We will be turning these lines into a drama monologue tomorrow.

Science Update- January 18th, 2016
Helium Balloon Experiment- Grade 6
In class, we conducted a brief experiment in regards to lighter-than-air flying machines. The experiment involved an inflated helium balloon with a piece of string attached to the bottom.
I asked students why they thought a helium balloon was able to float in the air. They provided me with their best educated guesses.
Following this I added paper clips, 1 at a time, and attached them to the string on the end of the balloon. Eventually the balloon began to gradually get lower and lower as I added more paper clips.
I asked, "Why does the balloon get lower when I add the paper clips?".
The results of this experiment are to be explained for homework using scientific concepts that have been learned and taught.
Words that can be used in describing these results can be:
Density (more dense or less dense)
Air Pressure
Particles
Expansion
Contraction
Mass
States of Matter (solid, liquid, gas). A hint, the particles in a gas look very different and act very differently than the particles of a solid.
Student responses are due on Day 4 (Thursday).
Science- Pure Substances and Mixtures, Grade 7
Today we started to move beyond volume and matter and began to discuss one of the most important subjects in this unit. Today we learned about the difference between pure substances, mechanical mixtures and solutions.
Students were given a hand out which is expected to be completed for day 4 (Thursday)
Attached are links to 2 great videos that help children understand what pure substances and mixtures are. They also provide excellent examples of things that are classified as pure substances, solutions or mechanical mixtures.

Grade 6 Science- Properties of Fluids
As an introduction to our unit on flight, one of the most important concepts is understanding the properties of fluids. Today, we learned that air is an example of a fluid because it flows and takes on the shape of its container.
We can completed an experiment to demonstrate how the adding of heat to a substance expands the particles that make up our air and how removing heat brings air/particles closer together.
We first placed a balloon over the top of an empty Erlenmeyer flask. The balloon appeared to be mostly deflated, but I had blown some air into the balloon prior to placing it over the opening of the flask.
I placed the flask into a beaker full of hot water and the balloon grew and appeared to inflate. When placed back into cold water, the balloon appeared to deflate once again.
Students had to explain why they thought the balloon expanded (grew) and contracted (shrunk) when hot water and cold water were added to it.
1st photo- Flask with balloon attached and 2 beakers. The beaker on the left is filled with hot water. The beaker on the right is filled with ice water.
2nd photo- After just 5 seconds in 60 degree water, the balloon has risen and appears to have inflated.
3rd photo- After placing the balloon into 6 degree water, it took just a couple of seconds for the balloon to deflate. As more time went on and the flask cooled down, the balloon appeared more deflated than at the start of our experiment.
So what happened. The balloon was never taken off the flask so no air escaped? How is it possible for the balloon to expand and contract based on temperature?
To learn more and to understand how this happened, please visit the "Classroom" page on your Google Drive to view the Powerpoint.

Jungle Sports
As you know, students have been participating in Jungle Sports/ropes and rock climbing the last 2 days. Students have been well behaved and have had a terrific time! Jungle Sports will take place during the second half of our literacy block tomorrow (11:25-12:15) and from 9:25-10:15 on Friday.
The Launch of a new Unit
Students in both grade 6 and 7 started a brand new science unit. Grade 6's began their unit on flight by learning about how specific types of living things adapt to their environments by using flight as a tool to help them to survive.
Grade 7's had a chance to begin their unit on pure substances by conducting an experiment on the mass of various objects. The objective was to have them develop an understanding of how to use the triple-beam balance scales that they will be using to conduct other experiments throughout this unit.
EQAO Update- As most parent are aware of, EQAO testing will be taking place in May. While we have been completing tasks throughout the year that will help students be successful during EQAO all year, starting today all grade 6 students will be given time every week during our literacy block to complete EQAO sample questions under my guidance. Students will be required to complete at least 1 EQAO section or question per week. All sample questions I am using can be obtained straight from the EQAO website. If you wish to practice at home with your child, booklets and answer guides can be found at: http://www.eqao.com/en/assessments/junior-division/Pages/example-assessment-materials-2015.aspx
