Language and Math

Language: We are in the proofreading/editing phase of our news articles at the moment. Students should be finished their rough drafts and getting a few friends/parents to edit in order to make the proper revisions on the final. A template for the final will be given out on Friday and I will post it here on the weekend. Due date for final draft of news article: Tuesday, April 29th

Math: The perimeter, area, volume quiz is postponed until Monday. We have had a lot of people away this week and some are needing some extra review. A revised and more simplistic formula sheet will be handed out soon. Right now we have moved onto geometry (tranformations, reflections, rotations).

Tomorrow, in Math, I will be handing back the Multiplication/Division tests. Please go over corrections with your son/daughter and sign/return to me. We are now reviewing perimeter and area of polygons. Grade 5s - squares and rectangles and Grade 6s - squares, rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms. I've attached a diagram with formulas that will be helpful for students to know.

In Language Arts, we are finishing up the novel study for Holes. Students will receive their chapter summaries back tomorrow with lots of feedback attached. They will be given a culminating task to complete very soon...

In the next two months, grade 6s will be doing lots of EQAO prep in class. Please feel free to print off sample tests for your child to work on at home as well! Everything can be found on the website linked to the right, including answer keys!

Litterless Lunch Tuesdays

As part of our school’s effort to reduce waste, students are being asked to bring ‘Litterless Lunches’ to school every Tuesday in April, starting on Tuesday, April 8^th. We are trying to encourage students to think about the amount of plastic they use and throw away on a daily basis. Families are encouraged to use reusable containers instead of plastic bags or plastic wrap for their food. Any recyclable material such as juice boxes and cans are fine as well. Any waste that would belong in a garbage can on these days will need to be brought back home for disposal.
