September 12th-16th

The second week of school has been off to a great start!  We had parent information night last night and there was a great turnout.  Thanks to all of you for coming as it was nice to meet so many of you!  This week the grade 6 students will be working on Unit 2, which is all about understanding numbers.  We have started with place value and will be continuing with estimation this week.  The students have also started attending French classes this week as Mrs. Turner and I will be switching for French & Health/Social Studies.  I have started asking the students a set of high frequency upper-elemetary words each day, which I will be correcting and they will be using the words that they do not know to begin their "Buddy Study" process next week.  I know they are very excited about this.  In Social Studies, we have started touching on the election as with the provincial election coming up, this should be an interesting topic!  That's my update for this week.  Enjoy the remainder of these bright, sunny days! :)
