Good morning everyone!
We have made it through the third week of exhibition and you are all showing incredible commitment to your projects. I am thankful for being able to spend these self-isolation days with you all online.
For today’s class, we will start the day by joining Mr. Oliver on Zoom for a meeting with all the Grade 6 classes to discuss the arts component of exhibition. The link will be provided on the Grade 6 Discord channel.
A quick message from St. Jude’s:
Today, the focus will be working on sections 16 – 20 of the Exhibition planner – the math, French, arts, and action components & The Primary Source
During the exhibition process, specialist teachers (Mr. Orr, Mr. Oliver, Mme. Stella) with help facilitate learning for each of the exhibition groups during their scheduled class times. A quick message from Mr. Oliver regarding instruments: Please make sure to clean your instrument thoroughly before using it. You can find detailed instructions by going to this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl93cyWnxvA&list=PLBB340E3D47C8B506
