This week, the classroom has been filled with music, movement, and many repeat runs of scenes as students continued preparing for the upcoming musical. Rehearsals focused on learning cues, strengthening stage presence, and becoming more confident with songs and dialogue. Students are beginning to see how all the different parts of a production come together.
In both our Unit of Inquiry and writing lessons, students have been exploring migration through the lens of different perspectives. As part of their preparation for balanced argument writing, students conducted interviews and gathered opinions connected to migration-related issues and experiences. They practiced asking open-ended questions, listening carefully, and identifying how viewpoints can differ depending on a person’s background or experiences. These conversations will support students as they begin developing balanced arguments supported by multiple perspectives and evidence.
Next week, we will also begin introducing a pens only system for Grades 5 and 6 during selected classroom tasks. This is intended to help students build confidence in drafting, editing, and taking ownership of their work without relying on erasing mistakes. We will continue guiding students through this transition gradually and supportively.
Thank you for continuing to support students through their learning and I look forward to seeing you in our musical next week.
Have a wonderful weekend to all of you.
Your homeroom teacher,
Ms. Pam
