Friday February 28, 2020 - Week in Review

Dear 6B Parents and Students,

Yesterday students had the opportunity to participate in a school tour of Sir John A. MacDonald. While touring the school, students completed a scavenger hunt and learned all about what options they could take. A notice went home about how to register for the options in Power School for the next school year.

In Math, we have been learning about decimals. Students have been able to take their understanding of fractions and interpret this into a decimal. They will soon be working on adding and subtracting decimals.

In Science, we are wrapping up our learning around Sky Science. Students completed their Planet trading cards and will be reviewing for their end of unit quiz.

In Social, we have been writing a news article about an event that happened in Ancient Athens. The events are ranging from a decision made on Pnyx Hill, a trial that happened or an event that happened in the community. Students will be wrapping up their article this upcoming week.

We will be having a meeting on Tuesday, March 10 at 4:00 for any parents who are interested in having a conversation about what the Grade 6 Farewell is going to look like. We will chat about what we have done in the past and people can share their ideas for this year’s event.

Have a great weekend!
