As I promised to grade 6 students, here is the link the biography/documentary on the Wright Brothers trials and tribulations that lead to the creation of the first airplane. Please watch the final 20 minutes prior to the next class (Wednesday)
As many of you know, we will be completing a Book Talk/Biography assignment in literacy. Students will be choosing to read a biography of a person of their choice who they feel has either unified people or divided people. Choices for people who have unified are extremely varied so far which is tremendous. Choices range from Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook) to John Lennon (member of The Beatles and political activist) to Martin Luther King Jr.
The easy thing is choosing the person you wish to read about. The difficult thing is finding a biography on your person on interest. Over the weekend, go onto the Vaughn library site and begin to look for biographies that would work for you. Remember that they must be 100 pages on length at a minimum.
There will be a math quiz on fractions (ordering and comparing fractions, adding and subtracting, converting from improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa and simplifying for grade 6's and all of these things as well as repeated addition and multiplication for grade 7's.) on Wednesday of next week. Ixl.ca is a great place to find curriculum based practice questions for both grade 6 and grade 7 students. Here are the links for grade 6 and 7 students ( https://ca.ixl.com/math/grade-6 https://ca.ixl.com/math/grade-7).
As today was a inclement weather day there is no new homework. Grade 7 students can continue to organize their science reports/presentations. Continue to look for your biographies and prepare for you math quiz. Most importantly, have a wonderful weekend and I will see you all on Tuesday.
