A message from some of the grade 6s:

Donate to people who are homeless

Hi!!, Our names are Mona, Joana, and Shivam.

We are doing a project called Exhibition where we choose a topic we are interested in and want to research more about in order to make a positive difference in our world. We chose the topic of homelessness because we do not want anyone to be without their basic needs. Every person has the right to have a home and food to eat and clothing to wear.

We are collecting donations so that we can donate them to Angela’s Place, a homeless shelter right here in Mississauga.

You can donate:

• Non perishable food
• Clothing (for all ages such as Pants, shirts, hats ,shoes and more)
• Toiletries (mouthwash, feminine products, toothpaste, toothbrush, and deodorant)
• Seasonal clothing
• Baby formula
• Diapers
• Baby products

Reason why we are doing this= Our plan is to help people who are homeless who need food and clothing and any other useful materials. After collecting these materials, we are going to donate all these items to a shelter called “Angela's Place”(45 Glenn Hawthorne Blvd, Mississauga, ON L5R 4J9).

Thank you so much for making the world a better place!

Please bring items to Ms. Jaskolka's class (Room 30)

Math
Today we went what a metre is and how many centimetres there are in 1 metre. The students then worked in pairs to measure the walls in our classroom with a metre stick. We recorded 3 of the walls widths and then students had to order them from shortest to longest.

UOI with Language Focus
Today students learned about opinion writing. We talked about what an opinion is and how you need to have reasons to back up your opinion. Then the students filled out a graphic organizer where they had to write 4 reasons why they think they are ready for grade 2. Then they started writing a letter using the reasons they came up with, ensuring to include all the elements of a letter.

Unit of Inquiry

Today the students learned about the day of the dead. We talked about how it is a day to celebrate those who have passed away. We watched a video about what it looks like and what traditions they have for the special day. We talked about the sugar skulls they use as a symbol of the day of the dead and then students got to colour their own! 

Have a great evening!
