May 30-June 5

This week in math the students have been solving problems involving probability. In language the students finished all rough draft components of their social studies project and worked together to revise and edit drafts, using the success criteria. The grade 5's have done some additional math work, and exercises in topic sentence, supporting details and concluding sentence with Mme. Demers in the morning. The grade 6's have been working hard every morning, writing the EQAO test. A permission form for an upcoming field trip to the science centre went home yesterday. Please sign it and return it ASAP. Also, I'm looking for a grade 6 parent volunteer to join us on the field trip, as well as 2 grade 5 parents.
