Mrs. Butler's Grade 6 Blog: Week In Review & Upcoming

In Math this week we reviewed the classification (naming/identifying characteristics) of angles and explored the protractor and how we can use it to construct and measure angles. We will move into measurement as we look at the area and volume of 3D shapes.

In Language, we wrapped up our study of poetry and are working fast and furiously on our EA project to help launch the sales of our bookmarks. Some students are working on video scripts, some on letters to business owners. While others are developing market research questions, fine-tuning their websites, developing a logo or creating business resumes applying for our CFO Chief Financial officer position for our business E.D.F (Everyone Deserves Food). Please during Open House next Tuesday take a moment to interact with the products they are making (market research/letters etc) and have a look at our bookmark prototypes.

Mr Fresque was in on Thursday and we conducted interviews for the CFO position. We had 5 worthy candidates for the position and all parties went through the interview experience with Mr Fresque and myself as the interviewers. These risk-taking students did their interviews in front of al the E.D.F. members ( ie our class :). Students were enthralled with the experience and both those that partook and those that observed really found the experience beneficial. The students reflected that they now feel more prepared to go through that the process in the real world as they look for jobs in the near future.

We had an amazing tour of Sacred Heart and the students were excited, and a little nervous to be in such a big space. The messages from Sacred were great and they ended with: End your year at St. Philip on a positive note and then bring that positivity with you to Sacred in September!

Confirmation Retreat also took place this week and the students enjoyed their time and sharing their Saint projects. Our thanks to St. Philip parish and all the volunteers that organized the retreat.
