Good morning, Families!
Eligibility forms for sports have begun! Every Thursday, school-sport athletes
must have their forms signed by all teachers. Please note: This option is
available to all parents that would like feedback on your student on a weekly
basis!
Grade 6 parent/ student conferences will be held on Thursday, April 19 and
on Thursday, May 3. Sign up sheets will arrive home with your child very soon.
Language Arts students will receive a review sheet today to prepare for a test on
Friday, April 13. Many students also still need to pass in their Sign of the Beaver
book summaries. These summaries were the first writing grade of the new trimester.
Social Studies: We just finished our Westward Expansion timeline last week.
This week we are embarking on one specific aspect of Westward Expansion.......
the Oregon Trail. Students will participate in a simulation/game activity that will
hopefully touch upon the realistic hardships of what these pioneers experienced.
We will wrap this up with student choice topics to research based on the
hardships and realities of the journey. Please ask your son/daughter questions
throughout the week to help reinforce their learning.
Literacy- Reading a minimum of 20 minutes a night makes a huge difference
in writing and preparedness for future schooling. We can make some great book
suggestions if your child can’t seem to find anything!
Math students will be working in groups and teaching their peers about Greatest
Common Factor and Least Common Multiple.
In Science, students are finishing their work with testing chemicals and writing
conclusions about their findings. There should be an assessment next week.
