The grade 6 students have been working diligently in class on their Egghead Reflection assignments. The students have also been busy participating in various activities related to Kindness Week at OJCS.
My personal act of kindness this week will be postponing the due date of this assignment until Monday, November 26th.
Today students received their Egghead Reflection assignment. The purpose of this assignment is for students to reflect and think about the lessons that can be learned from the novel Egghead. Students will need to use the Egghead novel to identify specific quotes that connect to the lesson they chose to discuss.
Students have each been assigned an Egghead novel that they can take home to help them with this assignment. Students are being asked to write five paragraphs. Each paragraph is broken down on the assignment sheet. I have also attached a graphic organizer as a tool to get students started!
Students will be working on this assignment both in class and at home.

This past week in Grade 6 we have begun our first novel study. We are reading the novel Egghead. This novel explores the themes of: bullying, friendship, loyalty, courage, peer pressure, power, and choice. We had a discussion in class this week revolving around the lessons we can learn from an author’s specific word choice.
Below you will find the link for our Egghead Notes/Activity Slides. Students can reference these slides to make up any notes/activities they might have missed.

Have a great weekend!
As we discussed in class on Friday we will be starting to incorporate new vocabulary into our classroom! Students have been assigned a list of 15 words to learn over the course of the week. Students are expected to complete their vocabulary homework practice assignments. These exercises are designed to allow students to practice using/recognizing these new words in a variety of activities.
We will have our first Vocabulary Quiz on Monday 10/15. These quizzes will compromise of definitions, matching, fill in the blank, and multiple choice questions. Students should be reviewing their vocabulary terms throughout the week to enhance comprehension. We will review for the first vocabulary quiz in class on Friday.

This year we will again be utilizing the ReadyTheory Program in Language Arts!
ReadTheory is a K-12 online reading comprehension program that assesses reading ability and builds reading comprehension by providing texts for students to read at a “just right” level. Over 1,000 informational and narrative passages are leveled by grade and Lexile level. ReadTheory’s algorithm senses student performance and is able to adapt to fit reading needs. As students read and answer quiz questions, ReadTheory presents passages (either more complex or less) that aim to find and establish the right level for each student. It’s web-based and usable on both desktop and mobile devices, so students can access their accounts wherever they are.
ReadTheory assignments will be given as homework assignments and will be monitored and assessed frequently.

Good afternoon students and parents!
Today students have been given the assignment packet for the Independent Reading Project. Many students are excited about the opportunity to read, review, and create a presentation about a book of their choosing! My goal is that students begin to read a minimum of 30 minutes per night. The only requirements regarding novel selection are that: the book has a minimum of 150 pages, the book adequately meets the reading level needs of the student, and that the book has not already been made into a movie.
For those students who need further instruction/accommodations for this assignment please reach out to me! I am more than happy to help modify this assignment to best meet the needs of each of our students at OJCS! Email me at m.washerstein@theojcs.ca with any questions, comments, or concerns.
This assignment has been divided into a few key dates:
