This past week...

This week was definitely a busy one! Congratulations to Ryan and Josh, who were the first to receive responses in the mail from Pawel and Abby of Calgary. I'm sure we will receive many more letters in the upcoming weeks. I've informed the students that it is up to them if they would like to continue writing to their friends throughout Canada.

In language arts, grade 6s did some EQAO practice this week (reading comprehension). We are also starting a biography unit. Next week, students will be assigned a large project where they will have to choose an influential person to research and present a biography of that person. More details to come...

In math, students are learning symmetry (gr 5), angles (5/6), types of triangles (5/6) and continuing co-ordinate practice, especially in the negative quadrants (gr 6). The attached picture is what they should be familiar with. Measurement quizzes are marked and will be handed back on Monday. Please sign and return.
