Gloomy Day!

Hello everyone,

Today was rainy and kind of gloomy, and unfortunately we were forced to stay inside all day. Nevertheless, as the productive and fun class we are, we found ways to make the day an enjoyable one. In the morning, we started with a math review session, followed by our math quiz. I was proud of the answers I saw walking around, while both grades were writing their tests. However, I still encourage many of you to ask questions during class time, especially when you feel you need the extra help. Asking for help is for you, and it will be important in helping you to move forward in becoming a successful academic student.
In looking back at some of the other activities that we participated in throughout the day, the grade 5s and 6s had music and then French class. Afterwards, both grades participated in language arts class and keyed in on the concept of “inferencing questions”. We were privileged to watch a clip of the movie “Pursuit of happiness” and read the book “Fly Away Home” by Eve Bunting, and in doing so we were able to associate the concept of “inferencing questions” with the movie and book. Lastly, we worked on our journals and writing skills, and I would like to encourage you all to keep up with the good writing skills I have observed. All in all, stay safe and I will see you all tomorrow.
