This is week 3 of school and there are still students without gym strip or calculators. Please ensure that your child has these items. Organization is key in grade 6! Also, if students do not have "homework" per se, they should be reviewing material taught during each day to keep info fresh.
Pizza forms go home today. Deadlines are very important for these documents. Thank you for your cooperation with this.
BAR B Q and interviews this week. See you there, book your time.
I will be giving all students a copy of the schedule to put into their agendas. It is never set in stone, as flexibility is important, however it gives them an idea as to what to expect.
We have Gym on days 1 , 3 and 4
Library is on day 5 but begins next week.
This week in Learning:
Math: We will finish up with multiples and move onto prime and composite numbers and finish with factors. I corrected the MIPI and will be discussing results with you at interviews. This is a diagnostic math test to see where weaknesses are and what to focus on this year.
Etudes Sociales: Students have learned which values are important to Canada and to democracy. We have learned why rules are important. This week we will look at why we have a government. Students will also be researching their riding and the candidates running. Current events dates have also been given out, so students should know when they are expected to watch the news.
