Ratio and Mock Trials

Hello,

Sorry that I have not posted in a few days. I had to attend a medical appointment with my wife on Thursday and then I was sick all weekend. Oddly enough, I started to feel ill as I was watching the Sens-Canadiens game.

Last week, we continued to work on rate and ratio, and we worked with Mr. Lemieux on our entrepreneurship project. We are continuing to make great progress and the students are working extremely hard. We also took some time to go over some grammar rules and discuss the difference between there, their and they're.

This morning, we corrected some of our work on ratios and presented our examples of the different types of articles we discovered on our newspaper scavenger hunt.

Then, we had some special guests come to our classroom during second block. Two lawyers came to talk to the Grade 6 students about their mock trial program. Every Grade 6 student will take part in a mock trial at our school later this month. Today, they explained a little bit about what they do, and the various roles people have in a courtroom. It sounds like it will be a very interesting experience.

Have a great evening.

Mr. Skinner
