We had fun learning in math today. Cuisenaire rods are another option for students to model their understanding of fractions. Check your teacher's site for your homework. Some of you have a test tomorrow so you should be practising extra questions. Gr. 6's have no math homework other than review. Goals -1st week is well on its way and one more week to go. How are you going to prove your goal? What will your evidence be? Science- You have one more class tomorrow to finish your note-taking and organize your ideas. You and your partner should split the tasks in order to get them done. Socials-We have reviewed your assignment and everyone has taken this criteria sheet home to review what is expected. Tonight your first task is to choose your topic (you have been thinking about this for a week or more and must post a decision tonight) I will continue to give you examples like the article on Mandela. **No, Bieber is not a global issue." Once you pick your current event, ask a question that you are curious about. It may be easier to find a news topic by first looking through some newspapers for one that interests you. Here are some online news sources. Have a look at newsela. Just click to read different articles...you don't need a password. You can even change the reading level to suit yourself. http://www.newsela.com/ The Province is another option http://www.theprovince.com/index.html or CBC News. Post your topic and the link to one website that you found a your news on. This will help others find their topic. Let's see how many different topics we can come up with. We had a good discussion about letter grades today. Why don't you continue that discussion here. Feel free to voice your opinions but remember the THINK criteria when responding.

Either Neo Nazis or terrorism. Probably Neo naziism ( name for nazis after WWII) who are not big threats to nations but may escalate. Many people think hitler was right with his doings and continue them just not so violently. Yet may become very violent http://www.hitlerschildren.com/article/588-neo-nazi-germany
