Good morning everyone!
Our focus for today continues to be working on Sections 16 – 20 of the Exhibition Planner – the math, French, arts, and action components, and The Primary Source. Scheduling the primary source interview is an important one to focus on as this is due today.
Our day starts with a Grade 6 house game assembly. I am looking forward to a fun time with you and the other Grade 6 classes and teachers on Kahoot!

Today’s Learning Goal # 3: Reflect on the process of exhibition and complete this week’s journal entry.
When writing your daily
journal entry, try to answer 3 or 4 of the questions provided in the
paragraph below.
In the space provided for
daily journal entries, write a journal entry that describes what you have
learned in the past week about your issue. What are some of the challenges
and successes you have dealt with? What are your areas of strength as an IB
learner? What are your areas of weakness? What will you do to address these
areas? Do you and your group members have any ideas on how to take action?
What are you worried about and what still needs to be done?
Limit each journal entry, so
that it does not flow over to the next page.

Work that is not completed during class time will need to be completed as homework. Students should put more focus into reading at this time. It is an expectation that students are reading between 30 and 60 minutes per day.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out so I can clarify and assist.
