It is shaping up to be a busy week in Mr. Spindler's Grade 6 class.
In Math we finished our unit on rates and fraction, decimal and percent. This week we move on to measurement which is one of the longer units as there are many different things that grade 6 students will take on including measuring and determining the area of triangles and parallelograms. Students will also work towards determining the volume of triangular prisms as well as exploring surface area as simple prisms. We will also explore the relationship between square centimeters and square centimeters.
In Language we continue to apply what we have learned in Language instruction to the Entrepreneurial Adventure program. We will look t how to advertise effectively and explore how word choice can make a big impact to a company's messaging.
In Religion we continue to explore the themes of Lent through our preparation for interpreting the Stations of the Cross. Students have chosen roles and will be preparing this week for our interpretation on March 24(Holy Thursday).
For our EA program we have asked several businesses to help donate some ingredients for our Devine Snack Shack. Several small groups of student went to various grcery stores to get some donations for our recipes.
We have already had a response from Laura's Independent Grocer at the Hazeldean Mall who donated $60 for our class to spend that day. The small group of students who presented their business letter to Laura's Independent were very excited to get such a great response and purchased many of our non perishable items. We will continue to plan out our inventory and operations to ensure the success of Devine Snack Shack. Our opening day of sales is Monday February 29. We are hoping for a great first day and will extend the sale for more of the week if necessary.
Hope everyone had a good Valentine's day and was able to spend time with their Families on Family Day.
