We are enjoying the incredible art of Eva Campbell in @JennyKayDupuis’ new book #heartberrybling Without giving anything away —- we’ll just say that we’re already having deep discussions about culture and what it means to people and communities! @Rousseau_HWDSB @hwdsb

Yesterday we participated in an interactive Live Zoom session with @Forests_Ontario to learn about #biodiversity and #trees Our first Science unit is Biodiversity! @Rousseau_HWDSB @hwdsb #6thgrade

Yesterday, we began a list of interesting vocabulary & new words —- usually sparked spontaneous learning moment in class. Each time, we look at root words, prefixes, suffixes, etc. To help us spell similar words. Today we talked about “neuroplastocity”. @HWDSB #growthmindset

We love to #read! Especially with our flexible seating options! @Rousseau_HWDSB @hwdsb

We worked in the partners to these picture clues and background word knowledge to figure out these palindromes!

We have been making inferences and predictions….asking questions….connecting emotionally….thinking of other similar texts. What an incredible “read aloud”! We are going slow & steady, with a LOT of discussion @hwdsb @DaveAlexRoberts #thebarrengrounds

Games day!! Pyjama day!! We are celebrating our gratitude for our amazing student teacher Miss Wong! @hwdsb @Rousseau_HWDSB #community #rousseau #6thgrade

We are using our T-table (input/output) skills, (e.g. finding a gap number & inferring the first step of a two step rule; or using guess & check. We are practising our communication skills (numbers, symbols, pictures and words) @HWDSBmath @hwdsb
