* School will resume Tuesday, February 18.
Dear 6C Parents and Students,
We had a
short but enjoyable week skating on the ring beside the school. A big
thanks to all of the parent volunteers who came out to hand out skates and
helmets, tie laces and console students who fell!
We have
continued our look at fractions this week, learning how to compare them by
making common denominators. Using either division or multiplication, the
students looked for the lowest common multiple between the two denominators and
either changed one or both fractions. We also looked at finding the
factional amounts of whole numbers. Next
week we will work on fraction word problems. We will have a quiz next Thursday on all concepts related to fractions.
On Tuesday the students participated in an Artificial
Intelligence Workshop hosted by Kids Code. We learned how computers are
being trained and coded to recognize images, human gestures, and facial
features. Like a young child, a computer needs to see a variety of images
and examples if it wants to understand and recognize an object in the future.
The students played a card game that asked them to identify common everyday
object based on it characteristics (colour, shape, size, texture, etc).
After this, we used the website https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/ to teach a computer to recognize classroom objects and perform a
task (i.e. show the computer a ruler and have it say your name.)
As part of kindness
month, students created an art piece.
Yesterday students wrote kind messages on the back of all of their peers’
art pieces as well as for various staff members who they encounter during the
day.
Yesterday was the last
day for our student teacher Miss D. Our
classroom will miss her and we wish her the best on her teaching journey.
Enjoy your long
weekend,
Ms. Blyth
