Grade 6 Exhibition

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 reviewed how to calculate perimeter. We went over some examples as a class, and a few students came up to the board to show how they would solve the problems. The students then did a worksheet where they had to calculate the perimeter of different rectangles.

UOI with Language Focus
Today students wrote a letter to the Earth. We used what we learned yesterday to brainstorm things we could say sorry for and things we could promise to do to help make the earth a better place. Then they had to tell me 2 things they liked about the earth. They did a great job!

Unit of Inquiry

Today we learned about 6 famous artists. We learned about Vincent Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Leonardo Da Vinci, Emily Carr and Andy Warhol! We talked about their lives and their art, and then looked at some of their famous artwork. We talked about how each artist had a very defining characteristic or style to their artwork. Each student will be assigned one of the artists and they will be recreating one of their artworks. We talked about how they should be sure to include the same characteristics from the artist they get assigned. 

Have a great evening!
