And a quick note regarding the exhibition projects in grade six…
A couple of quick reminders:

French – In the morning, we had French with Mme. Rawan, which you can read about on her blog (https://mmerawansja.blogspot.com).
Inquiry into Coding – Today, we started exploring scratch and starting to use all of the functions inside of scratch. We will be starting our first coding mini-project tomorrow!
After lunch, we went over to the dome to rehearse our performance for The Wizard of Oz.
Inquiry into Language – During language, we started exploring different newspaper articles. We read a few articles about: free comic books, black holes, Notre Dame, recycling, and chess. What we learned is that all of these articles have things in common:
· Catchy titles
· Relevant pictures
· Relevant quotations
· Questions being answered:
o What?àWhat happened?
o Where?àWhere did this take place?
o When?àWhen did this take place?
o How?àHow did this come about?
o Why?àWhy did this happen?
o Who?àWho was involved?
Tomorrow, we will continue our inquiry and learn a bit more about writing newspaper articles.
For homework:
· Read chapter 18 of Hatchet (due tomorrow)
· Practice using Scratch
· BRING DEVICES
All homework for the day is placed here, but time may have been given in class to complete this work.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns by email, and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Mr. Conte
